MEN’S HEALTH COUNCIL
The Men’s Health Council is a group of volunteer and community members who work together with UW Medicine to raise funds and do community outreach to advance research, care and education in men’s health.
Our mission at UW Men’s Health is to:
- Conduct research in understanding men’s health gaps to care and how to narrow the gaps.
- Empower men to take control of their care through community education and outreach.
- Identify leaders to help improve and advance men’s health, and therefore improve the health of the public.
The campaign council provides opportunities to support the men’s health community outreach mission/vision to improve the quality and longevity of men’s lives, and its related philanthropic endeavors.
Outreach
In our communities, men don’t use healthcare resources as much as they should — and we want to change that. Many urological disorders can be treated with awareness and screening. In fact, common urologic problems provide an excellent starting point to encourage men to take greater responsibility for their health; their condition serves as motivation.
With outreach to employers, schools and social gathering places, we aim to help men manage their healthcare. We’ll also target policymakers with the goal of improving the health of entire male populations. With this multi-pronged approach, one that educates adolescents and adults, we intend to shift the paradigms of men’s
healthcare delivery.
At UW Medicine’s Department of Urology, we want to broaden and refine the concept of men’s health. We seek to understand why men have shorter lives. We aim to encourage men to take charge of their health. We’re doing all these things through the Men’s Health Center. And we invite you to join us in this important work.
