This week of events highlights the importance of men’s health. Men are at higher risk for many serious diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and STIs, and face unique health problems that often go untreated. Preventive screenings and regular health care are crucial. However, men often neglect these, leading to severe consequences. Men are also less likely to discuss and seek help for mental health issues.
These events also aim to raise awareness and encourage men to seek medical attention when needed. Join us for Men’s Health Week in Pharr! Every day, we will host activities to support overall well-being.
All media and the public are invited to attend. These events are open to all Rio Grande Valley residents.
