National Men's Health Week

Leading up to Father's Day on June 21, it's National Men's Health Week.

The purpose of Men's Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.

This week gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. The response has been overwhelming with hundreds of awareness activities in the USA and around the globe.

Testicular cancer is a health issue that all men and boys need to recognize. For your own sake, as well as for all those who depend on you, take care of yourself. You maintain your car and your house; remember to maintain your body.
