Men's Health Awareness Month 

Men's Health Awareness Events

• • Men's Health Seminar: From exercise, nutrition and taking a real look at what can benefit your body as you age, it is time to re-evaluate your health. According to INTIGRIS Health, Men are 33% less likely to see a doctor than women. We will focus on the benefits of preventative health, natural ways to improve your physical being internally and externally as you age and help you create a personal plan for moving forward in a healthy, happy direction for your body. Date: June 10, 2025. Time: 11:30am. Location: Ellicott City 50+ Center, 9401 Frederick Road, Ellicott City, MD 21042, ECity Classroom - Fitness Center Building
  • Changing the Narrative around Men's Reproductive Health: While reproductive health has often focused on females, male reproductive health is equally as important, with 1/3 of infertility cases being related to sperm production or function. Join us for a discussion about understanding male fertility and how it fits into the family building journey, including common misconceptions. Date: June 11, 2025. Time: 4:00pm. 
  • Global Action on Men's Health Webinar: Global Action on Men's Health (GAMH) is a collaborative project that brings together men’s health organisations, and others which share their objectives, in a new global network. Date: June 18, 2025. Time: 4:00am.

• Men's Health Awareness Resources

  • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Men's Health Facts: CDC is the nation's leading science-based, data-driven, service organization that protects the public's health. CDC puts science into action to help children stay healthy so they can grow and learn; to help families, businesses, and communities fight disease and stay strong; and to protect the public's health.
  • National Alliance on Mental Illness: What started as a small group of families gathered around a kitchen table in 1979 has blossomed into the nation's leading voice on mental health. Today, we are an alliance of more than 600 local affiliates who work in your community to raise awareness and provide support and education that was not previously available to those in need. There is often a strong focus on men’s physical health — fitness, annual checkups, and heart health — but mental well-being is equally as important because mental health is health!
  • Urology Care Foundation: The Urology Care Foundation is committed to advancing urology research and education. We collaborate with researchers, health care professionals, patients and caregivers to improve patients’ lives. June is Men’s Health Month, and the Urology Care Foundation encourages men everywhere to take charge of their well-being by getting checked for urological health.
