Support Men’s Health Month – Get Into the Blues
For one day in June, join us in wearing a healthy shade of blue. Men and women across the country are encouraged to wear blue on Friday, June 14, in recognition of National Men’s Health Week, which begins June 10.
Men’s health is a family issue, so everyone should help raise awareness of preventative practices, as well as common illness symptoms, to encourage early detection. When it comes to men’s urinary health in particular, many disorders are treatable when caught early.
The first step is scheduling regular exams, even when there aren’t symptoms. The Urology Group has plenty of educational materials on hand to help keep the men (and women) of your life healthy.

Why participate? In 2019, nearly 175,000 men are expected to be diagnosed with prostate cancer, but caught early, the five-year survival rate is 99%. Thanks to all of our partners who help us raise funds for this important initiative, including Mercedes Benz of Fort Mitchell for once again being our Winners’ Circle sponsor.
So, gather family and friends and recruit your teams now, and we’ll see you on Saturday, September 14!

It’s an unfair fact of nature that some of our favorite summer pastimes could also lead to health conditions. For women in particular, certain activities present higher risks of urinary tract infections
(UTIs). UTIs occur when bacteria grow in the urine after entering the urethra, infecting the kidneys, ureters and/or bladder. They are common – 40% of women experience a UTI at least once in their lives.
In the summer, the risks of UTIs become even greater, largely due to dehydration and damp conditions. Here are two quick tips to avoid UTIs this summer:
Don’t let the risk of UTIs or other preventable conditions throw a wet towel on your summer fun. Common sense is the best prevention. Enjoy the pool!
