Men's Health Week June 11 – 17, 2012

June is Men's Health Week
Men's Health Week is about bringing national attention to the state of men's health in order to "heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys."

Celebrated during the month of June (Men's Health Month) and leading up to Father's Day, the week allows health care providers, public policy makers, media, family and friends to encourage men and boys to regularly participate in preventive screenings, seek regular medical advice and receive early treatment for disease and injury.
