Dear Colleagues,
This week is National Men's Health Week, held each year during the week prior to Father's Day. The goal is to draw attention to the early detection and treatment of health problems affecting men. Over 50 Congressional cosponsors recently introduced a bipartisan bill proposing the creation of an Office of Men's Health under the Department of Health and Human Services. Information about the bill is located at http://www.menshealthnetwork.org/omh.html.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
