Free “Hens & Haircuts” prostate awareness event for men 40+ in Americus this Saturday

AMERICUS, Ga. – Men aged 40 and older are invited to Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Americus this Saturday for the free Hens & Haircuts event. The event runs from 10 a.m. to noon at 411 Cotton Avenue and combines health screenings with community connection.

Participants can enjoy a free frozen chicken and a fresh haircut while also taking advantage of a prostate screening via blood draw. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men, making early detection especially important.

The event is organized by Phoebe Health, the Morehouse School of Medicine, and local partners including Americus Holiness Deliverance Temple and Union Tabernacle Baptist Church. It’s a unique opportunity to focus on your health while enjoying a morning with the community.
