As Father’s Day approaches, we celebrate Men’s Health Week (June 9-15 )! Men’s health week aims to improve men’s health by providing education, health services, and encouraging men to take responsibility for their health.

  • Men’s Mental Health matters, males also experience loneliness and depression and have a higher incidence of suicide than women.
  • Men’s physical health matters. Canadian Men’s Health Week – Statistics Canada (statcan.gc.ca)), revealed that about 29% are obese; 82% do not meet physical activity guidelines; 76% do not eat healthy food and 35 % do not get enough sleep.

Here are some easy ways to get involved:

  1. Schedule a Health Check-up: Encourage the men in your life to schedule regular check-ups with their healthcare providers. Routine screenings, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and prostate exams, can help detect potential health concerns early on, enabling timely intervention and treatment.
