Bill Summary
To enact sections 5.2322 and 5.2323 of the Revised Code to designate June as "Male Wellness Month" and the third Monday in June as "Take Your Dad to the Doctor Day."
AI Summary
This bill establishes June as "Male Wellness Month" and the third Monday in June as "Take Your Dad to the Doctor and Dentist Day" (also known as "DAD Day"), with the primary goal of promoting preventive health screenings and awareness for men. The legislation requires the Ohio Department of Health to create a downloadable poster promoting the day and mandates that the department, along with local health boards, display this poster on their websites and in areas under their jurisdiction. The bill specifically aims to encourage men from rural, urban, and suburban areas to get important health screenings such as prostate exams, colonoscopies, and mental health evaluations. By creating this designated month and day, the bill seeks to raise awareness about men's health issues and promote regular medical check-ups and preventive care for males.
