 Family Health Symposia

Men’s Health Network (MHN) is undertaking a series of free state symposia on the health of men and their families around the country. MHN is presenting these symposia as an effort to educate health professionals and the public-at-large about significant family health issues.

The symposia create awareness of such issues with state policy leaders, elected officials, and healthcare leaders as they deal with the reality of rising healthcare costs. These state symposia also create opportunities for additional networking for community outreach organizations throughout the state, as well as encourage preventative health measures and physician and patient dialogue.

Among those invited to participate are: local, regional, and state public health department officials, key legislators, advocacy groups, medical associations, patient advocacy organizations, churches/parishes, community health leaders, and healthcare providers.

Participants receive a copy of the book Blueprint for Men's Health.  Program managers receive a free copy of the MHN HealthZone event planning kit.
