TAKE YOUR MAN TO THE DOCTOR WEEK BEGINS MONDAY Free Health Screenings at Borough Hall 12:00 P.M. (BP speaks) On September 26, Borough President Marty Markowitz and over a dozen Brooklyn hospitals and health care providers will kick off Take Your Man to the Doctor Week – He’ll Live to Love You Longer. Mobile medical units will offer free health screenings throughout the day at Borough Hall, and Marty will demonstrate some of the screenings. Free screenings for asthma, blood pressure, colorectal cancer, cholesterol, diabetes, dental/oral cancer, depression, glaucoma, hearing, HIV/AIDS, prostate cancer, pulmonary disease, stroke, stress, weight control/obesity and other conditions, along with important health information will be available at all participating hospitals, clinics and physician’s offices during the week of September 26 – October 2. Participating Brooklyn YMCA’s will offer guest passes. Call 718-802-3875 or visit www.brooklyn-usa.org for a complete listing of free health screening services and all participating hospitals, clinics and physician’s offices. Take Your Man to the Doctor – He’ll Live to Love You Longer is a call to action for men of all ages, ethnicities, and social standing to regularly visit a doctor and for the women who love them to help make it happen. There is a huge disparity in doctor visitation between men and women nationwide, and Brooklyn is no exception. According to the 2003 Community Health Survey, an annual survey of 10,000 New Yorkers conducted by the Health Department, in Brooklyn, 31% of men reported not having a personal doctor, versus only 18% of women. |
