Men's Health
Men’s health isn’t just about avoiding illness – it’s about optimizing your life. Your overall health influences everything from physical strength and sexual performance to cancer prevention and mental resilience. And it’s never too early – or too late – to take control.
Start with a Primary Care ProviderYour health is the foundation of everything—from your physical performance to your mental clarity and emotional resilience. Taking time to fuel your body well, move regularly and check in with your provider helps protect you now and well into the future.
Men’s wellness is about building a strong, balanced life and our expert providers are here to help you take charge of your health – with evidence-based care, early detection and the tools you need to live strong and well.
More than half of men avoid regular provider visits until there’s a serious issue. Preventive health care helps detect potential issues early, when they’re easier to treat.
Health Screenings
Routine wellness and cancer screenings play a critical role in identifying health concerns before symptoms appear. Your primary care provider can check key indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol levels and A1C to monitor heart health and screen for conditions like diabetes. These quick, simple tests can provide a baseline for your health and help catch issues early, when they’re most treatable.

Prostate Health
Many men don’t realize that prostate cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular screening exams essential. Routine prostate cancer screenings are a key part of preventive care for men as early as 40. Your primary care provider can help you decide when it’s time to start.

Erectile Dysfunction
Occasional difficulty with erections is common, but ongoing erectile dysfunction (ED) may be a sign of an underlying health issue that deserves attention. Treatments are available and options vary so if you're noticing ongoing symptoms, it’s important to talk with your primary care provider sooner rather than later so you can be referred for additional testing and treatment, if needed.

Managing Stress for Mental Wellbeing
Mental health is a critical part of overall wellness, yet many men hesitate to seek support for stress, anxiety or depression. Left unaddressed, chronic stress can lead to serious health problems like high blood pressure, sleep issues, weakened immune function and even erectile dysfunction. Prioritizing mental health and learning effective stress management techniques can improve every aspect of your life.
