“This June, like every other, is filled with talk of graduations, the scent of bar-b-q, and Fathers’ Day sales. But amidst all the hype, we need to remember that June is also Men’s Health Month – a vital, often overlooked, opportunity to shine a spotlight on the unique health challenges and preventative care needs of men. More than that, it’s a critical time to urge men to prioritize their health and encourage their loved ones to support them in doing so.

Many men, thanks to societal expectations, lack of awareness, or both, are about half as likely as women to have a regular healthcare provider, less likely to have regular screenings, and are far more likely to delay seeking medical attention until symptoms become unbearable. As a result, men are often diagnosed when their medical issue has already become advanced and may not be able to be treated at all (this appears to be the case in Joe Biden’s recent diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer). Understanding the health concerns for men is the first step toward proactive health management and longer, healthier lives.”
