June is Men's Health Month

While men may be the first to say they're fine, statistics show that men die about five years sooner than women and have higher mortality rates for cancer and heart disease. Men are also less likely to schedule routine medical exams for preventive screenings and more likely to be uninsured.

The Division of Public Health Men’s Clinic provides free screenings by appointment. Click here to learn more or call (609) 645-5933.
