For father's day the Esperanza clinic was trying to care for dear old dad this weekend. At the YMCA the clinic sponsored a 'Men's Health Fair.' The fair included booths for blood pressure checks, spinal screenings, vision tests and investment/retirement information. Organizers of the fair say it's important for dad to take proper care of himself.
Cynthia Calderon/Outreach Coordinator: Its important because a lot of men ignore the signs and symptoms of sickness, so as they are young they are sometimes taught to ignore the pain. This is just a way to tell them that they need to get checked out. This is a way to do it.
This week is national men's health week. For more information on men's health log onto www.Menshealthweek.Org.
