Men’s Health Week: 5 Questions Every Man Should Ask at His Next Checkup

June 10, 2025

In honor of Men’s Health Week, we’re encouraging men in our community to be proactive about their health. Regular checkups are key to preventing serious conditions, and asking the right questions can lead to better care.

Here are five questions to bring to your next appointment:

1. Am I due for any screenings?
   Routine screenings like cholesterol, prostate, and colorectal cancer checks can catch issues early.
2. What’s my risk for heart disease?
   Discuss your lifestyle and family history to assess your risk.
3. Should I be concerned about my weight?
   Weight impacts heart health, joint pain, diabetes, and more.
4. How’s my mental health?
   Don’t overlook stress, depression, or burnout. Your provider can help.
5. What should I focus on for better health this year?
   This helps tailor your health goals with expert input.

📞 Call 641-472-4156 to schedule your appointment at JCHC Clinics, Richland Clinic, or the walk-in clinic.
