Men’s Health Matters

Men are often less likely to visit the doctor or talk about health concerns. Regular checkups can help find problems early, when treatment works best. Simple steps like eating healthy foods, staying active, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can improve overall health. SCHNC encourages men to take time for their health this month and all year long.

La Salud de los Hombres Importa

Los hombres muchas veces son menos propensos a visitar al médico o hablar sobre problemas de salud. Los chequeos regulares pueden ayudar a detectar problemas temprano, cuando el tratamiento funciona mejor. Pasos simples como comer saludable, mantenerse activo, dormir lo suficiente y manejar el estrés pueden mejorar la salud general. SCHNC anima a los hombres a cuidar su salud este mes y durante todo el año.

📣 Got 20 minutes? Your voice could solve your needs and help shape our community.

What’s something you need but can’t find, or something that’s just too hard to access around here?

Healthcare? Food? Transportation? Support for your family?

We’re inviting residents to a Community Input Session to tell us about real needs and real barriers. No speeches, no pressure. Just a chance to be heard.

We want to hear from you about:

> The main health issues and concerns in your community

> Barriers that make it harder to improve your health

> Resources that are available, and resources that are still needed

> Possible solutions and ways to bring about change

Your experiences are more than stories; they're lessons we can learn from. By taking part, you help guide local priorities, inform future action, and make sure community voices are part of the decisions that follow.

This week’s Community Input Sessions:

DOBSON!!
June 1st
3:30pm-5:30pm
