💙 Men’s Wellness Screenings Matter 💙

June is Men’s Health Month, making it the perfect time to prioritize preventive care and routine health screenings.

🩺 Recommended Wellness Screenings for Men:
❤️ Blood Pressure Screening – At least annually, or more often if elevated
🩸 Cholesterol Screening – Helps assess heart disease risk
🍬 Diabetes Screening – Especially if overweight or have a family history
⚖️ Weight & BMI Assessment – Monitor overall health
🚭 To***co & Alcohol Use Screening
🧠 Mental Health Screening – Depression, anxiety, and stress matter too
👁️ Vision & Hearing Exams
🦠 Colorectal Cancer Screening – Beginning at age 45 for most adults
🔍 Prostate Health Discussion – Talk with your healthcare provider about your individual risk factors

Many health conditions have few or no symptoms in the early stages. Routine screenings can help detect problems early, when treatment is often most effective.

👨‍⚕️ Taking care of your health isn’t just for you—it’s for the people who depend on you.

📅 Don’t put it off. Schedule your wellness visit today.
