Bill > SCR90

This concurrent resolution designates the week of June 9-15, 2025, as "Men's Health Week" in Delaware, building upon the national Men's Health Week established in 1994. The resolution highlights several critical health challenges facing men, including lower life expectancy compared to women, high rates of uninsured individuals, significant health risks from conditions like heart disease and cancer, and mental health issues. It emphasizes that 55% of men do not receive regular health screenings, 13.2% of men over 18 smoke, and many men are unfamiliar with their family health history. The resolution aims to raise awareness about preventable health problems, encourage early disease detection and treatment, and promote seeking help as a sign of strength, with the ultimate goal of educating men, boys, and their families about positive health attitudes and preventative health practices.
