BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Men’s health is taking the driver’s seat at the Lehigh Valley Auto Show.<\/p>\n
After checking out hundreds of cars, men have the option to get free prostate cancer screenings.<\/p>\n
“I’d rather be safe than sorry,” said Rick Houser of Allentown.<\/p>\n
Houser is no stranger to working in a hospital.<\/p>\n
“I’d be the vampire. Take blood from you,” said Houser.<\/p>\n
Now he’s walking around with his own bandage.<\/p>\n
“It’s something that men should have done every year,” said Houser.<\/p>\n
Prostate cancer runs in Houser’s family.<\/p>\n
“My numbers are always low,” Houser said.<\/p>\n
His spirits are always high, especially after having his PSA blood test done inside the Lehigh Valley Auto Show.<\/p>\n
“Everything is good,” Houser said.<\/p>\n
His wife waited for him outside of the big yellow curtain, surrounded by cars also waiting for new owners.<\/p>\n
“Have a good time, bring your family, and then maybe the wife or the kids nudge you [and say], ‘Hey, get in there and take this little blood test,'” said Houser.<\/p>\n
Early detection is key.<\/p>\n
“It’s not something that you really think about, right?” said Ben May, president of Pocono Raceway.<\/p>\n
As thousands of visitors stroll inside Lehigh University Goodman Campus in Bethlehem, May said it can be a good time to checked.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes pairing fun with seriousness grabs people’s attention and says, ‘Hey, look, I can come over to the Leah Valley Auto Show. I can get a picture with the pace truck, and I can look after myself and walk out of here knowing that I’m either healthy or I need to get some follow up,'” said May.<\/p>\n
Man Cave Health is joining Pocono Raceway to provide the screenings.<\/p>\n
“We meet men where they’re at. We educate them about the process,” said Chris Masters, executive director of Man Cave Health. “Then it sets them off on their health journey.”<\/p>\n
Screenings will be available Saturday and Sunday starting at 10a.m. inside the Rauch Fieldhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Men’s health is taking the driver’s seat at the Lehigh Valley Auto Show.
