Men's health

We provide services to help men live happy, healthy lives. We also want you to be aware of the preventive measures you should be taking.

At any age, talk to your primary care provider (PCP) if you have risk factors or symptoms of diseases like diabetes, heart disease or cancer. If you have risk factors, such as a family history or certain lifestyle habits, you may need to be tested earlier than the recommended age for some conditions. And remember, there are still immunizations that you need to receive:

• Tetanus-Diphtheria (Td) or Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is needed every 10 years.
• Influenza vaccine (flu shot) should be received regularly starting at 50; prior to 50 discuss with your PCP.

Regular checkups are important to be healthy. Remember to eat nutritious foods, be active, maintain a healthy weight, not smoke and drink alcohol in moderation (if at all).
