June is Men’s Health Month. By prioritizing prevention and making annual wellness visits a regular habit, men can lower the risk of chronic diseases, improve mental health, and enhance their quality of life.
Let’s take a proactive approach to wellness together, starting with a few Providence Health Plan tips below.
Take the first step to better health today. Establish care with your Primary Care Provider (PCP). Don’t wait! It’s important to have someone who understands your health history and, if needed, can quickly arrange screenings or connect you to specialists.
