June: National Men's Health Month

June is National Men’s Health Month, a dedicated time to spotlight the importance of men's health and wellness. It’s more than just a calendar observance—it's a call to action for men everywhere to take proactive steps toward living longer, healthier lives.

Studies show that men are less likely than women to visit the doctor regularly, discuss health concerns, or seek help for mental health issues. As a result, many serious conditions—like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and certain cancers—often go undiagnosed until they become critical. National Men’s Health Month is here to change that narrative.

This month is about raising awareness and encouraging men to take charge of their health through:

• Regular checkups and screenings – Prevention and early detection can be life-saving.

• Mental health care – Opening up about stress, anxiety, or depression is a sign of strength, not weakness.

• Healthy lifestyle choices – Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, quitting tobacco, and limiting alcohol can have a major impact on long-term health.

It’s also a great time for families and communities to support the men in their lives. Whether it's a friendly reminder to book a doctor’s appointment, planning active outings, or simply checking in emotionally, small gestures can make a big difference.

Let’s use this month as a catalyst for positive change. Your health is your wealth—and it’s never too late to start investing in it.

Take the first step. Talk to your doctor. Move your body. Take care of your mind. You matter.
