Men's Health Week: June 14-21, 2026 +++...+...

https://odphp.health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/men?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Healthy People 2030 focuses on improving men's health. Men live an average of 5 years less than women, often dying from preventable or treatable chronic disease related outcomes such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. Men are at higher risk than women for many serious diseases, including heart disease, lung cancer, and HIV. Men also face unique health problems that don’t affect women, like prostate cancer. https://www.cdc.gov/chronic-disease/prevention/index.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery To improve men’s health, it’s important to raise awareness about preventive screenings and regular health care for men of all ages. Early detection and treatment, connection and support, and taking preventive steps now can improve health outcomes for men. Interventions to reduce smoking and drinking and promote healthy behaviors also can help prevent diseases and improve men’s health. https://menshealthmonth.org/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery This year’s theme —“Partners in Care: For Better Lifespans Across the Lifespan” emphasizes that men’s health does not happen in isolation and highlights the role that families, communities, and care partners play in supporting healthier outcomes for men. Fostering men's health throughout the lifespan helps improve outcomes not only for men, but for their families and communities as well. This year, in honor of Men's Health month, consider wearing blue on Fridays in June to show support for men's mental and physical health and encourage the men in your life to seek preventive care. https://menshealthmonth.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Mens-Health-Month-2026-toolkit-compress.pdf?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
