Men's Health Month

June is Men’s Health Month! Did you know that men and women have different health outcomes? On average, Hispanic men live 5 years less than Hispanic women. Men are also more likely than women to have heart disease, liver disease, and to commit suicide. Men are also less likely than women to see a doctor regularly or to have health insurance. For all of these reasons, it is important to talk about men’s health and help make sure that men take care of their health.
