June is National Men's Health Month. This month is all about encouraging boys, men and their families to take care of their bodies and mind by exercising, eating healthy and seeking help when needed. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on average, men in the United States die 5 years earlier than women and die at higher rates. The three leading causes of these deaths are heart disease, cancer and unintentional injuries. 

In this episode, you'll hear from a physician with one of our CHRISTUS Trinity Clinics about the importance of annual check-ups. We'll also have a candid conversation with one of our community partners that is helping address men's health needs outside the walls of our CHRISTUS facilities.
