Men’s Health Month

Celebrated each year during June, Men’s Health Month brings awareness to the health issues all men face. Hosted by Men’s Health Network since 1992, the month is dedicated to enriching men’s health and wellness through a broad spectrum of national screening and educational campaigns.

Wear BLUE also raises awareness and money for education about men’s need to seek regular checkups, or testicular cancer education, prostate cancer education, or other health issues that affect men. (Cardiovascular disease, skin cancer, lung cancer, diabetes, gout, and more.)

National Digestive Disease Awareness Month

It’s hard to get fresh fruits and vegetables in Alaska, so how can I meet my goal to eat more? It’s not as difficult as you think! We’re lucky in Alaska, as we have fresh, canned, and frozen options, as well as greens and berries from the land! More tips can be found here: https://dhss.alaska.gov/dpa/Pages/nutri/everybitecounts.aspx

Root Canal Awareness

Root canal treatment (also called ‘endodontics’) is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (called the ‘pulp’) is infected through decay or injury. You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection. In some cases your tooth could darken in colour, which may mean that the nerve of the tooth has died (or is dying). This would need root canal treatment.
