“Oftentimes, men are so busy with their daily lives that they neglect their health. Father's Day is a wonderful time for people to encourage the men in their lives to take a time out for health. By emphasizing healthcare for men, The Medical Center of Central Georgia is encouraging men to pursue personal wellness before a serious illness occurs,” said Charles Krauss, Community Health Educator for MCCG.

June is nationally recognized as Men's Health Month, and Father's Day will be observed on June 15.
