Supporting the designation of the week of June 14 through June 21, 2026, as "National Men's Health Week".

Key Points

• This resolution asks the government to officially recognize June 14 through June 21, 2026, as a week dedicated to men's health. It encourages the public to learn about health issues that mainly affect men and boys.
• The goal is to help men live longer and healthier lives. Currently, men in the United States live about five years less than women on average. They are also more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
• The resolution highlights that many health problems like colon or prostate cancer can be treated if found early. However, many men wait as long as possible to see a doctor when they are sick or injured.
• If passed, the House of Representatives would officially support the week and ask for a national announcement to encourage health screenings and regular exercise.
