June is Men’s Health month. The goal is to heighten awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment among men and boys.
One of the most important things everyone can do is to keep up on preventative care. This handy checklist from UnitedHealthcare allows you to enter your age and gender, then receive a customized list of screenings that you should undertake regularly. It’s easier to treat and manage disease when it’s caught in its earlier stages.
Don’t forget! Health Advocate is a free service available to GW faculty, staff and their household members that provides access to a variety of resources to help you get the care you need, right when you need it. This includes assisting with getting a second medical opinion or access to speak with a nurse 24/7 when your doctor is unavailable.
