2013 Men's Health Forum
Saturday, March 9, 2013
8:00am - 3:30pm
University of South Florida - Marshall Student Center

For many reasons, including the lack of insurance, awareness, access to doctors, etc., there is a growing number of men in our community without access to regular health care services. The Men’s Health Forum is a shared effort by area hospitals, health care organizations, churches, community organizations, and businesses to provide help to men who are uninsured, underinsured, or do not have a regular health care provider.

Past FREE wellness screenings have included: skin cancer; blood pressure; diabetes; cholesterol, HIV/AIDS; vision; hearing; prostate exam vouchers (must qualify).

Highlights from the 2012 Forum

Of 496 men examined, 63% were uninsured
Of 324 men tested, 47% had hypertension and 38% had high blood pressure
270 men were educated on the importance of prostate testing and received vouchers for free prostate testing at Moffitt Cancer Center

Of 107 men completing their prostate exams, 19% had abnormal results
Of 190 men receiving skin cancer exams, 29% had suspicious skin findings
Of 351 men tested, 20% were identified as at-risk for diabetes
