Health Action Item

Men's Health Awareness Month 

• 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.
