National Men's Health Week
National Men's Health Week (NMHW) was signed into law on May 31, 1994. The purpose of NMHW is to raise national awareness among men and young boys of the importance of preventive health behavior in the early detection and treatment of health problems affecting men. This special observance is held the week leading up to and including Father's Day, June 9 -15, 2008. By having NMHW during this period, men will receive the greatest attention and focus in our society, thereby enabling the message to reach the greatest number of men and their families.
