Today we talked to Joe Blumberg, an active member of the Men’s Health & Wellness Center “team.” As Chair of the Advisory Board of the Center, Joe has taken the lead in establishing meaningful programs and services for men and their partners as they navigate a health care crisis. He is an advocate for men and for screening and disease prevention as men age.

Joe told us to mark our calendar and plan to join him for the First Annual Men’s Health & Wellness Expo on Saturday, June 14, 2008, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm in the Saint Joseph’s Carroll Conference & Education Center. Download and print the Expo brochure.

This full-day community education program is free to the public and features a variety of physicians and other health care experts on health and wellness-related topics. Sessions throughout the day will explore how to prevent illness as you age and how nutrition, exercise and stress specifically affect your body’s ability to function in the areas of heart health, prostate health, digestive health, bone health and diabetes prevention.

There will be free health screenings offered throughout the day to both men and women. Screenings include: Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Blood sugar, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Bone Density. You can also get a
FREE voucher for a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test & DRE (digital rectal exam) by appointment with an Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist from Saint Joseph’s

The Men’s Health and Wellness Center at Saint Joseph’s is a comprehensive program that meets a variety of men’s needs before, during and after treatment for a health condition. As men age, they often experience low testosterone, heart and vascular disease, cancer, obesity and bone related injuries or illnesses. Good nutrition and exercise, stress reduction techniques such as yoga and meditation, and therapeutic massage can each play a vital role in helping a man regain and maintain vitality and achieve emotional and spiritual well-being.

The Center also educates and helps couples dealing with issues of sexual intimacy and communication, conditions which are exacerbated as men age and during times of illness.
