June is National Men’s Health Month

Each June, healthcare organizations around the country recognize Men’s Health Month as a way to encourage men to take care of their health and prevent future illnesses.  An important part of raising awareness about Men’s Health Month is addressing this reluctance and encouraging men to get routine healthcare such as annual physical exams. It’s also essential to seek consultation when they have a specific health concern instead of simply waiting and hoping a problem will go away on its own.
