Roanoke’s Men’s Health Day is back this weekend, hosted by New Horizons Healthcare. The free event aims to raise awareness and prevent health problems for men in the community. This year, Northwest Roanoke, a medically underserved community with many residents on Medicaid or Medicare, will benefit from these free resources brought directly to them.
Men’s Health Day encourages men to take charge of their health and well-being. Many men are reluctant to get regular check-ups, but it’s important not only for themselves but also for their families. By knowing their health status, men can proactively address any issues and improve their overall well-being.
The event on Saturday, June 1 at New Horizons Healthcare on Melrose Avenue, NW will offer free blood pressure, weight, and prostate screenings. There will also be presentations from a fitness coach and two LewisGale cardiology and urology doctors. Pre-registration is recommended and can be done by contacting Gail Kinzer from Loudon Avenue Christian Church.
Events like Men’s Health Day are crucial for promoting and supporting men’s health in a community where many individuals struggle to access healthcare. By offering free screenings and educational presentations, the event is a valuable resource for men in Roanoke. Don’t miss this opportunity to take charge of your health and well-being. Join the event and make your health a priority.
