Men's Health @ NAIT

Growing awareness. Sparking conversations. Supporting men’s health.

11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
South Lobby O1X4

The MAN VAN® is Canada’s first and Alberta’s only mobile men’s health clinic, operated by the Prostate Cancer Centre (PCC). It provides free, quick, and confidential PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood testing for men ages 40–70, as well as blood pressure test, blood sugar test, and mental wellness checks for men ages 18+. By bringing testing directly to communities, the MAN VAN® removes barriers to early detection of prostate cancer.

Don’t miss this opportunity—tell your colleagues, students, friends, and family to come get tested. Early detection saves lives.
