June is Men's Health Month

This year’s 2025 Men’s Health Month theme is centered on closing the Empathy Gap in men’s health through advocacy, awareness, and action.

The Empathy Gap refers to the lack of care, funding, and support for men’s issues, including health, education, and emotional well-being. Men’s challenges are often overlooked, leading to fewer resources, delayed care, and limited awareness.

While awareness and funding efforts have successfully addressed numerous health challenges over the years, men’s health issues receive significantly less attention, despite statistics demonstrating clear concern.

  • Men die 6 years earlier than women due to preventable health issues.
    • SCHEDULE YOUR ANNUAL WELL VISIT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN AND EARN 400 WELL POINTS
  • Prostate cancer & testicular cancer receive far less attention.
    • SCHEDULE YOUR PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN SCREENING FOR 100 WELL POINTS.
  • Suicide rates among men are significantly higher, yet mental health initiatives often fail to acknowledge interventions that resonate with men.
