The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. There is a silent health crisis in America…it’s the fact that, on average, American men live sicker and die younger than   American women.  Men die at higher rates than women from the top 10 causes of death and are the victims of over 92% of workplace deaths. In 1920, women lived, on average,one year longer than men. Now, men on average, die almost six years earlier than women. Men’s Health Week is June 10-16, 2013. Wear a blue ribbon to encourage awareness of Men’s Health.
