If
you are a man, are you neglecting your health? In recognition of National Men’s
Health Week, June 15
- 21, the Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center has coordinated
a special event focused on men’s health. Health Department Dietitian Demetrius
Willis will discuss how men can lead healthier and longer lives. This free
event will take place at the Waukegan Community Church, 1016 Grand Avenue in
Waukegan on Saturday, June 20, from 9 to 10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
“There
are simple things men can do every day to improve their health and stay
healthy,” said Demetrius Willis with the Health Department. “Eating a variety
of fruits and vegetables every day, getting more physical activity and enough
rest are just a few. It is easy to follow steps to be healthier and stronger.”
Men’s
Health Week, celebrated annually during the week preceding and
including Father’s Day, honors the importance of men's health and wellness. Its purpose is to heighten the
awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and
treatment of disease among men and boys.
To R.S.V.P. for this free
event, please send an email to: lpiotrowski@lakecountyil.gov. Families
are encouraged to attend.
