The month of June is Men's Health Month. It is a time to raise awareness for boys and men about being proactive about overall health, including mental health, physical well being, and encouraging individuals to visit their doctor for yearly screenings. It is also important to focus on choosing healthy eating habits and improving daily activities through exercise routines, hobbies, and increasing general activity levels. There are numerous studies that show women live longer than men and men are less likely to visit a doctor or discuss symptoms to a primary care physician. Now is the time for all men to take charge of their life and wellness.

We had a fun group representing Active at the Ishpeming Kiwanis Golf Outing! Our team finished 10 under par!

We're giving back! This week our Marquette clinic donated to the can drive for the Moosewood Nature Center!

Women’s Health Month serves as a reminder to take care of your overall health and make it a priority in your life. This includes seeking medical help when you need it, but it also involves engaging in preventive care to keep you healthy, like scheduling checkups, examinations, vaccinations, living a healthy lifestyle, and more.

We're so proud of Kelly Wood for completing the 17 mile walk for U.P. Pink Power! Congratulations, Kelly!
