According to the Indiana University School of Medicine, men have a 41% higher mortality rate than women. Yet only 60% of men see a doctor for annual, routine check-ups.  Awareness, prevention, and education of the health issues predominantly affecting men are crucial not only during #MensHealthWeek and #MensHealthMonth but year-round. This is why we encourage our community to engage in conversations that promote proactive health management among men and boys and address vital topics like cardiovascular health, mental wellness, and cancer prevention and treatment.  Learn more about Men’s Health Month and how you can help spread the word about the importance of men’s health issues: https://ow.ly/Cao750Sb7nm

There are many factors fueling this, including general inflation, labor pressures on health care systems, growing concern over provider shortages, burgeoning mental health needs, missed and deferred preventive screenings leading to more late-stage cancer diagnoses and worsening of chronic conditions.
