The Alliance is committed to supporting the health of our members. This June, we are encouraging men to take charge of their well-being.
Only half of adult men have seen a doctor for preventive care in the past year. Many wait until a health problem becomes serious before seeking help. But preventive care can catch issues early, when they’re easier to treat.
The Alliance covers all preventive care services at no cost to members. We encourage you to share this information with the men in your life.
Preventative care services for men
The Alliance offers these important services for men:
- Physical exams. A yearly exam can help detect any health problems, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.
- Screenings. Screenings can help find health conditions early, when they are more treatable. Common serious health conditions in men include prostate cancer, colon cancer and heart disease.
- Vaccinations. Vaccines protect against illnesses, such as the flu and pneumonia.
- Sexual health. Men should discuss any sexual health concerns with their doctor and get tested for sexually transmitted infections as needed.
Thank you for sharing these resources with your community and helping advance our vision of healthy people, healthy communities.
