Men's Health Network

To reach men and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation.

There is an ongoing, increasing and predominantly silent crisis in the health and well-being of men. Due to a lack of awareness, poor health education, and culturally induced behavior patterns in their work and personal lives, men's health and well-being are deteriorating steadily. we want to change this by

- saving men's lives by reducing the premature mortality of men and boys.
- increasing the physical and mental health of men so that they can live fuller and happier lives.
- significantly reducing the cycles of violence and addiction that afflict so many men.
- energizing government involvement in men's health activities so that existing government health networks can be utilized to increase the health and well being of men and boys.
- encouraging women to expand on their traditional role as the family's health care leader and activist for enhancement of health care services.

MHN was founded in 1992 by a group of health professionals and others interested in improving the health and well-being of men, boys and families. Today, with a Board of Advisors totaling over 800 physicians and key thought leaders.
