For too long, the health and well-being of men in the United States have been overlooked, leading to a concerning reality where men have a shorter life expectancy compared to women. Men often delay seeking healthcare and have their first heart attack earlier than women.
This neglect is exacerbated by a societal attack on masculinity, leaving many men feeling isolated and struggling, resulting in higher rates of suicide and overdose compared to women.
During National Men’s Health Week, a commitment is made to support and empower American men to lead healthy and safe lives. Recent initiatives, such as an Executive Order to improve healthcare access and lower medication costs, aim to prioritize men's health and well-being.
Under current leadership, efforts are being made to ensure a healthier future for men in the country, supporting their voices, values, and overall wellness.
