Coliseum Medical Centers will host the Coliseum Classic Cruisin’, a free car, truck, and motorcycle show, on Saturday, September 29 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the hospital campus located at 350 Hospital Drive in Macon.  Old Timers Classic Cruisers Car Club has partnered with the hospital to bring a fun, free car show to the middle Georgia community.  Any car, truck or motorcycle can enter the show for free, and the public is invited to enjoy the wide array of cars on display! Trophies will be given in a variety of categories.

Coliseum Medical Centers is hosting the car show during the month of September in recognition of National Prostate Health Month.  During the car show, hospital staff will be on hand to educate men about the importance of regular prostate screening to prevent against prostate cancer.  Men will also be able to receive a free PSA blood test during the event.

Dr. Joseph Bear, a urologist at Coliseum Urology Specialists, said, “Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is a substance produced by the cells in the prostate and a PSA screening measures the amount of PSA in the blood.  Luckily, a high number on a PSA screening does not automatically mean that there is cancer, but it does give men a warning that further testing needs to be done.”

Hernia consultations will also be available onsite.  A hernia is a condition that occurs when an organ or tissue slips through an abnormal opening, typically in the abdomen.  They can create an unnatural lump in the body and can cause symptoms such as soreness, discomfort and abdominal pain.

Dr. Patrick Narh-Martey, a surgeon on staff at Coliseum Medical Centers, said, “Many people do not seek treatment when they think they might have a hernia.  The good news is that hernias are a relatively easy condition to reverse, and you don’t have to live with the pain!”
