Introduced
Summary
Highlight men's health and promote preventive care. This resolution would designate June 14 through June 21, 2026, as National Men's Health Week and ask the President to issue a proclamation encouraging people and organizations to hold events and educational activities. It cites that men live on average more than five years less than women and face higher rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, unintentional injury, and suicide, with particularly high burdens among American Indian or Alaska Native, African‑American, and Hispanic men. It emphasizes that early detection through screenings such as prostate‑specific antigen tests and blood pressure and cholesterol checks can improve outcomes. The designation is a one‑year, ceremonial observance focused on awareness and outreach.
