Cook County Health Hosts 4 Men Only Health & Wellness Fair on Saturday, April 27

When it comes to prevention and early detection, men's health often takes a backseat to women's health. Research shows that compared to women, men are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol and generally lead less healthy lifestyles.

In addition, men are more likely to put off routine checkups and delay seeing a health care provider for potential problems.

Fortunately, many of the health conditions and diseases that men face can be prevented or treated - if found early. In order to start taking better care of their health, it is important for men to understand their risk factors and how they can improve their overall health.

Join Cook County Health at their 4 Men Only Health & Wellness Fair this Saturday, April 27 from 11 am to 3 pm. There will be complimentary screenings and lunch.
