Dignity Health raises awareness on men's health and well-being
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — In recognition of Men's Health Month and the upcoming Father's Day holiday, Dignity Health is raising awareness about the importance of preventive care for men of all ages.
Despite facing higher rates of chronic illness and mental health challenges, many men delay care that could help them live longer, healthier lives.
Dr. Nadeem Goraya, family medicine physician, discussed the steps in prioritizing men's health and well-being.
New data shows that 27% of health appointments made by men in 2024 were for someone else and went up dramatically from 5% in 2018. This shift reflects a growing awareness that caring for others starts with taking care of yourself.
Dignity Health offers a full range of services tailored to men`s unique health needs, including:
Annual wellness exams
Heart and vascular screening
Prostate and urologic health evaluations
Mental and behavioral health support
Chronic condition management
Family and caregiver health resources
Every man deserves a healthy future.
