Supporting the designation of the month of June 2025, as "National Men's Health Month".

This resolution supports the designation of June 2025 as "National Men's Health Month," aiming to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment among men and boys. It notes that American men live nearly six years less than women on average, with significant disparities for American Indian/Alaska Native and African-American men. The resolution highlights that men face higher age-adjusted death rates from conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, and are less likely to seek professional medical care. The resolution emphasizes that many male-related health issues, such as prostate cancer and testicular cancer , could be detected and treated early if men were more aware of available screening tools and preventive measures. It points out that men often delay seeing a doctor, with women being nearly twice as likely to have had a recent medical visit. The resolution advocates for public and healthcare provider education on the importance of preventive health care and screenings. Building on the success of "National Men's Health Week," which has been celebrated since 1994, this resolution seeks to expand awareness efforts. It encourages men and their families to adopt healthy lifestyles, engage in regular exercise, and undergo medical checkups. Finally, the resolution requests that the President issue a proclamation calling for the observance of "National Men's Health Month" with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
