Did You Know?

Heart disease is the #1 killer of men in the U.S., responsible for 1 in 4 male deaths. The good news? Up to 80% of cardiovascular events are preventable through diet, exercise, and regular checkups. When did you last check your blood pressure?

Did you know men are more likely to have a heart attack than women — and at a younger age? Know your numbers: blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar are your three key vitals. Ask your doctor about them at your next visit.

Men are 3–4x more likely than women to die by suicide, yet far less likely to seek help. This June, we're reminding every man on our team: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our EAP is available 24/7.

Nearly 6 million men in the U.S. are affected by depression each year — but symptoms in men often look different. Irritability, anger, overworking, and withdrawing from friends can all be signs. Check in on your strong friends. Check in on yourself.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men after skin cancer. When caught early, the 5-year survival rate is nearly 100%. Talk to your doctor about screening — especially if you're 50+ or have a family history.

Prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages — which is exactly why screening matters. A simple PSA blood test can be a lifesaver. Don't wait for something to feel wrong. Schedule that appointment.

Men are 50% less likely than women to visit the doctor for preventive care. Skipping checkups doesn't mean nothing is wrong — it just means things go undetected longer. Book your annual physical this June.

Screening Recommendations

Screening refers to tests and exams used to find a disease in people who don’t have any symptoms. The goal of screening tests for breast cancer is to find it early, before it causes symptoms (American Cancer Society).

Screening Recommendations

Mammograms: A mammogram plays a key role in breast cancer screening. It is an X-ray image of your breasts and can detect breast cancer before it causes signs and symptoms (Mayo Clinic).

- Women 40 to 44 have the option to get a mammogram annually.

- Women aged 45 to 55 should be getting a mammogram annually.

- Women 55 and older have the option to switch to getting a mammogram every other year, depending on their health.

Clinical Breast Exams and Self Breast Exams:

- Can help discover new lumps and masses

- Can help you notice any changes in skin texture or colors
