June is Men’s Health Month, and our expert staff at Spring Creek Medical Center wants to raise awareness about the importance of men’s health and encourage men to take charge of their health. Men are less likely to see a doctor than women, which can lead to health problems being caught later, when they may be more difficult to treat.
During Men’s Health Month, it is important for men to talk to their doctor about their health and to get regular checkups. Men should also make healthy lifestyle choices, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and not smoking.
