June is nationally recognized as Men’s Health Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the health and well-being of all men. Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) is proud to support this important initiative by encouraging men of all ages to take a proactive approach to their health.
Men face unique health challenges and are statistically more likely than women to be diagnosed with conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and certain cancers. In fact, heart disease remains the leading cause of death among men in the US. Men are also less likely to regularly visit a doctor, which can lead to delayed diagnoses and treatment.
PMC is committed to providing comprehensive,compassionate care tailored to men’s specific health needs. The medical center offers a variety of specialty services including cardiology, urology, oncology, primary care and more, providing patients with access to expert care close to home. Professionals recommend men receive regular screenings such as colonoscopies and prostate exams, and others dependent upon personal health history. By focusing on prevention, early detection and management of chronic conditions, PMC empowers men to take charge of their health.
Pikeville Medical Center encourages men throughout Eastern Kentucky and beyond to schedule routine visits with their healthcare provider, maintain a healthy lifestyle and seek support when needed. Men’s Health Month is a call to action and a reminder that good health starts with taking the first step! Call (606) 430-3500 to schedule an appointment.
