Men’s Health Month June 2024

During the month of June, men are encouraged to set goals for their own health and wellness and begin to create a roadmap for achieving those goals.

Health Care: Men 15-65 years of age are significantly less likely than women to seek preventive care services, and they are more likely to report not having a primary care provider. A good first step on the path toward improved health is to make a call and establish with a primary care provider (PCP). A PCP will review medical, surgical and family history and recommend age- and risk-appropriate health screenings.

Social Connection: Research shows that people who experience loneliness and isolation are at increased risk of heart disease, dementia, stroke, depression and anxiety

Mental Health: Although men are more likely to suffer “deaths of despair” including alcoholism, overdose and suicide, they are far less likely than women to seek out mental health services

Look after yourself and find a primary care provider (PCP) to access the assistance you might require for a healthier and happier life.
