Men's Health
Take control of your health and wellness.
Did you know, men live around six years less than women, and are less likely to visit a healthcare provider? Heart disease, cancer, depression, and engaging in risky behavior are major risks to men’s health and well-being.
Though the term “men’s health” is used to define this healthcare service, it is suited for people with a penis and other male anatomy regardless of gender identity.
The Men’s Health Clinic is committed to delivering personalized and high-quality care for a wide range of men’s health concerns. Located within the Silver Care Team on the second floor of Stamps, our clinic offers comprehensive primary care and specialized consultations for penile, testicular, and other health issues unique to men. Our dedicated team strives to provide a comfortable and safe environment where patients can receive specialized care.
