On Monday, October 16, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz will kick off his fifth annual “Take Your Man to the Doctor” week with free health screenings at Borough Hall. “Take Your Man to the Doctor” is a call to action for men of all ages, ethnicities, and economic levels to regularly visit a doctor, and for the women and men who love them to help make it happen.
