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. For more information about the Men’s
Health and Wellness Center at Saint
Joseph
