Screenings
Preventive Screenings
One of the most important ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle in addition to remaining physically active and eating right is to get regular preventive screenings. For more information about what types of screenings are important for your particular health maintenance, see your doctor and ask questions. It just might save your life. The American Cancer Society recommends these screening guidelines for most adults and the National Cancer Institute provides information on Screening and Testing to Detect Cancer.
Leaves for Cancer Screenings
Screenings for breast cancer and prostate cancer are an important way to ensure good health. At Buffalo State College, we want to make sure you take care of yourself by getting regular health screenings, and we make it easier for you to find time to get important screenings for breast cancer and prostate cancer by providing up to four hours of leave per year for eligible faculty and staff.
