It might be time to get the men in your life to see a doctor!
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Every June, you have the opportunity to celebrate the men in your life by sending them to the doctor. Maybe not the doctor, but to make sure they stay healthy. Men's Health Week is the week leading up to Father's Day every year. Men are encouraged to make their health a priority and, of course, spread awareness. According to Arik Olson, the medical director with Fidelis Care, you have to be consistent. 'I believe it's important for all men to have a primary care provider. That could be a doctor, a nurse practitioner, a physician assistant,' said Olson. 'But I believe it's important to see that doctor, or primary care provider, at least once a year just for a check-up. Even if you're not sick, just to see if there's anything you should be doing to stay healthy.' According to data from the Center for Disease Control, the leading causes of death for men include heart disease, cancer, and accidents. They say: 14.7% of men 18 and older are in fair or poor health 30.9% had five or more drinks in one day, at least once within a year 12.5% smoke cigarettes 7.6% use E-cigarettes 50.8% are struggling with hypertension 39.2% of men 20 and older are considered obese There are a number of things men can do for their health, including eating healthy, exercising, not smoking, and not drinking too much. Those are the usual suspects, but Olson says it's also important to get your teeth cleaned every year and be social. 'Even joining a sports league or meeting with a group of people for whatever reason — maybe to play cards — has significant impacts for our health.' Then, of course, there are age-specific tests to keep in mind, like getting a colonoscopy after the age of 45. On Friday, people are encouraged to wear blue to celebrate Men's Health Week. Don't forget to snap a photo for social media, if you do. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Avoid drinking tap water for now if served by these Pierce County utilities
Avoid drinking tap water until further notice if you're served by Ashford Water District or the S & I system of Washington Water Service, according to notices this week from the state Department of Health. 'This water system experienced a main break with pressure loss,' a notice for Ashford Water District said Sunday. 'When water lines lose pressure, potentially harmful contaminants can enter the water system. As a safety precaution, customers should boil their water or use bottled water until further notice.' Another water system in Pierce County, S & I under Washington Water Service, was flagged as unsafe with a similar message on the state Department of Health website Tuesday. A public notice on the Ashford Water District website says that chlorine will remain in the system for three days and will be flushed out over five to seven days. Then, water samples will be tested in a lab. 'When all samples test Satisfactory, Ashford Water District will then lift the Boil Water Order,' the notice says. Two Ashford businesses, Paradise Village Restaurant and coffee stop Rise and Grind, were closed Tuesday afternoon due to water safety concerns, according to the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department website. The News Tribune called Ashford Water District and Washington Water Service for more information but was unable to reach a spokesperson Tuesday. Ashford Water District and S & I are both classified as Group A water systems, which means they 'have 15 or more service connections or serve 25 or more people 60 or more days per year,' according to the health department website.
