This November we are highlighting and advocating for Men’s Health. Below you will find resources that should help guide some of the unique healthcare needs of all men. Together we can help the important Men in our lives live healthier lives.
Learn about the cause
One of the goals of this resource center is to show men how health issues are interrelated. How being obese can effect your cardiovascular system. How successfully managing your diabetes can lead to a healthier life. How parenting and fatherhood can encourage you to live a more fulfilling lifestyle, not just for you, but for your family.

TAKE ACTION
Gay Men’s Health Crisis is the world’s first and most popular provider of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and advocacy. Founded in 1981 by a group of gay men who gathered with the goal of addressing the “gay cancer” and helping to raise money for research. The GMCH has evolved into one of the world’s biggest and most well-known HIV/AIDS prevention and research groups.
Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research and transforming the way health services reach and support men. We exist to help men live happier, healthier, longer lives – this is what drives every single one of our 1,250 men’s health projects.
An advocacy and outreach non-profit whose mission is teach men of all ages how to stay educated and find the treatment they need for whatever men’s health issues they face—from STD prevention to suicide, prostate cancer, etc. They cast a very wide net when it comes to men’s health, and have made their priorities about educating men about health awareness and disease prevention.
ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer, has a very clear and very strict mission statement: No more prostate cancer, ever. The organization aims to create public awareness, as well as be a collective voice for the movement to end prostate cancer. They help fund research and provide testing across the country and other resources for men suffering from the disease.
The Sean Kimerling Testicular Foundation was set up in Sean’s honor, and its mission statement is clear: No man should die from testicular cancer. The foundation is geared toward raising awareness about testicular cancer and the importance of self-examinations.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is the world’s leading philanthropic organization whose sole mission is funding prostate cancer research to help wipe the face of this terrible disease off the face of the Earth for good. They’re also an extremely lean charity, with 81% of donations going directly to their research funding.
