Most common health conditions affecting men - such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer - can be managed or prevented when identified early. Our care teams work together across multiple specialties to help men stay healthy at every stage of life.

Why Men's Health Matters?

According to the American Heart Association, men are often less likely to seek preventive medical care, which can delay the detection of serious health conditions. Routine screenings and regular wellness visits allow providers to identify risk factors early and provide treatment before complications develop.

Recommended Preventive Screenings for Men

Regular screenings help detect disease early — often before symptoms appear.

Men should discuss individualized timelines with their provider, but general guidelines include:

  • Annual Wellness Exams
  • Colorectal (Colon) Cancer Screening (Age 45)
  • Cholesterol Checks
  • Diabetes Screenings
  • Skin Cancer Routine Check
  • Prostate Cancer
  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Lung Cancer Screening (depending on lifestyle)

Taking the Next Step

It is always recommended to check with your provider regarding your personal health. Family history, environment, past health habits all play a critical role in when you should be screened.

Health Conditions Men Often Overlook

Some health conditions affecting men may develop gradually and go unnoticed without routine medical care.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is frequently underdiagnosed and can contribute to high blood pressure, diabetes complications, and heart rhythm disorders.

Mental Health

Stress, anxiety, and depression are often underreported among men due to stigma or cultural expectations. DOHC providers offer support and referrals for behavioral health care.

Hormone Health

Hormone levels naturally change over time. Any evaluation or treatment for testosterone should be managed by a qualified medical provider to ensure safety and appropriate monitoring.
