2023 recap
Men’s Health Block Party & Symposium
Thank you for joining us at the Men's Health Block Party & Symposium!
The Men's Health Block Party & Symposium was an engaging and energetic community day thanks to all of you who signed up, showed up, and participated! We welcomed close to 120 people and were happy to be joined by committed experts in medicine and health who shared their knowledge about "building a healthier brotherhood" in several workshops focused on men's health and well-being. Here are some takeaways from the day:
We had our highest level of student volunteers from several San Mateo county high schools,
San Francisco State University, College of San Mateo,
Canada College, and Stanford Medical School
47 PPE Goodie Bags were distributed
21 men received Blood Pressure checks, 16 people were tested for HIV and Hep C, 10 men receive DRE exams for Prostate Cancer screenings, 7 men received Glucose checks, and 33 FIT kits (colorectal cancer screening) were distributed
This is the first year we added the Umoja Health Village and Block Party to the Men's Health event!
