Championing Men's Health: A Conversation with Alonzo Mourning
Many men tend to avoid doctors until injury or illness forces them into urgent care or the ER. Men are half as likely as women to visit the doctor for routine exams and preventive care, leaving them vulnerable to serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. Moreover, nearly 30% of men lack a primary care physician to manage their health. NBA Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning went public earlier this year about his surgery after receiving a diagnosis of stage 3 prostate cancer. He encourages men to take control of their health and not be afraid to seek medical attention.
