This week is Men’s Health Week, a week to encourage men of all ages to care for themselves mentally and physically through regular checkups. While we all recognize regular checkups are important, it can be confusing to know what screenings are most crucial based on your age. Schedule an appointment with your local provider for a check-up and ask about any screenings you may need – like a colonoscopy, prostate exam, or heart and diabetes screening.

Occupational therapy (OT) has been shown to improve the lives of patients, regardless of their age. Visit our website to learn the benefits of OT and how it can make a positive impact on you or your loved one's life today!
