Men in the United States continue to experience higher rates of serious health conditions, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes, while also having a shorter average life expectancy than women. Men are also less likely than women to have a regular source of healthcare or seek preventive medical services. In Clark County in 2023, 39.1% of men had hypertension, while 15.9% of men reported being current smokers. Men had a higher prevalence of angina, heart disease or heart attack (6.2%) than women (4.1%).
“Good health starts with paying attention to the small things before they become bigger problems,” said Dr. Cassius Lockett, District Health Officer for the Southern Nevada Health District. “Men’s Health Month is an opportunity for men to check in on their health, ask questions and take advantage of free community resources like blood pressure screenings and wellness events.”
Early detection through regular screenings for cancer and other health conditions is vital for improving long-term health outcomes. The Health District’s Southern Nevada Community Health Center offers a range of services to support men’s health, including annual physicals, chronic disease management and sick visits for minor illnesses. These services are available at the following locations:
- 280 S. Decatur Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89107: Open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
