June is Men’s Health Month! This year, the HHS Office of Minority Health highlights the theme: Be the Source for Better Health: Improving Health Outcomes Through Our Cultures, Communities, and Connections. Men in the U.S. die nearly 6 years earlier than women and face higher risks for diseases like heart disease, lung cancer, and HIV. Factors like economic stability and educational access worsen these risks. OMH collaborates with public health and community partners to provide quality, equitable, and culturally responsive care to racial and ethnic minority and AI/AN men and boys. Let’s raise awareness and encourage the men in our lives to prioritize their health! https://bit.ly/3VGe5Eu #MensHealthMonth #MinorityHealth #SourceForBetterHealth #GlobalERGNetwork
