It’s a fact that women outlive men by five years—in 1920, women
only outlived men by one year. Statistics also show that women are more
likely to visit the doctor for an annual exam or other preventative services than men.
On average, American men live sicker and die younger than American women—something that the
Men’s Health Network refers to as the silent health care crisis in America.
So, men, what can you do to close this gap? The Campbell County Medical Group
Family Medicine Clinic encourages you to have your annual physical. Check out what Monte Haddix,
RN, has to say about in the video below.
Check out a maintenance schedule at
www.getitchecked.com from the Men’s Health Network about regular checkups and age-appropriate
screenings that CAN improve your health and reduce premature death and
disability.
Did you know that you can take a five minute blood test for
Prostate Cancer? Schedule an appointment at 307.688.3636 with one of our providers in
Family Medicine for an annual exam to see if this test is a smart idea
for you. Find the Family Medicine Clinic in the
Main Clinic on the south side of
Campbell County Memorial Hospital. Make sure you are healthy enough to live the life you want. Learn more at
