June Health Tip
June is Men’s Health Month, an opportunity to raise awareness about preventable health issues, encourage healthy habits, and promote early detection and treatment of diseases that commonly affect men and boys.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, women are about one-third more likely to seek outpatient healthcare services than men, which highlights the importance of encouraging men to prioritize routine medical care and preventative screenings.
At VIP Community Services, we are committed to helping community members take charge of their health through accessible, comprehensive care. Our Family Practice & Primary Care services include annual wellness visits, routine screenings, and laboratory work, all designed to support long-term health.
“Too often, men delay seeking care until a health concern becomes serious,” said Darcia Bryden-Currie, Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer. “Men’s Health Month serves as an important reminder that preventative care, regular checkups, and early intervention can make a significant difference in overall health outcomes.”
This month, we encourage men to make their health a priority by scheduling an annual checkup, learning about recommended screenings, and speaking with a healthcare provider about any concerns.
