Supporting the designation of the week of June 14 through June 21, 2026, as "National Men's Health Week".

This resolution expresses support for the annual designation of "National Men's Health Week," specifically from June 14 through June 21, 2026. The core purpose of this week is to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of diseases among men and boys. It highlights significant health disparities, noting that men, particularly American Indian/Alaska Native and African-American men, have a lower life expectancy and higher rates of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes compared to women.

The resolution emphasizes that many male-related health issues, such as prostate and testicular cancers, could be detected and treated earlier if men were more aware of available screening tools and preventive measures. It points out that men often delay seeking medical care due to various factors, including fear, embarrassment, or lack of insurance, making them less likely than women to visit doctors for annual examinations. Therefore, educating both the public and healthcare providers is crucial for reducing mortality rates, and the resolution requests the President to issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide observance of this important week.
