National Men’s Health Month was established to increase awareness and encourage preventive health care among men. It can help prevent serious illnesses like heart disease and cancer, but also lead to a longer, healthier life. Overall, men generally live 5 years less than women and are at a higher risk of heart disease than women. Additionally, only 50 percent of men schedule annual check-ups. Schedule your annual check-up now! When you do, talk with your physician to see if you are a candidate for any of these health screenings available at Peninsula Imaging – prostate MRI, low-dose CT lung cancer screening, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), cardiac calcium scoring and DEXA scan. Be proactive and take control of your health!
