Anchored by a Congressional health education program, Men's Health Month is celebrated across the country with screenings, health fairs, media appearances, and other health education and outreach activities.
The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This month gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury.
Utilize the wide array of men's related content offered in Metro's Creative and Editorial Libraries to put together comprehensive men's health resources. How about institute "Wear Blue Friday," the Friday before Father’s day at work, taking advantage of dress-down summer days?
