SOMERS POINT - In honor of Men's Health Awareness Month, also known as "Movember," Shore Physicians Group is dedicating its November Be Well Connected education breakfast to the topic of men's health.
The event will be held 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Greate Bay County Club, 901 Somers Point-Mays Landing Road, and will include a light breakfast. All guests will be entered to win a complimentary haircut and close-shave gift basket valued at $100 from Gas Up Barber Shop & Shave Co. in Somers Point.
Leading the program is primary care physician Dr. Ulices Perez, who will focus on the unique health needs of men. Endocrinologist Dr. Matthew Corcoran will talk about low testosterone, which affects one in four men over age 30. Closing the event will be a discussion with Mike Costello of Gas Up Barber Shop & Shave Co. on men's grooming.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, men die on average five years earlier than women and are more prone to chronic illness. With greater awareness of the causes of this health disparity and more diligent attention to their health, men can potentially live longer, healthier lives.
