June is Men’s Health Month, and here at our office, we want to take a moment to focus on the fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, coworkers, and friends, who often put their health last on the list.
We see it all the time:
“I’m fine.”
“I’ll go next month.”
“I don’t have time for that right now.”

As we count down to the holiday season, this is your friendly reminder to take care of you.

Why This Week Matters Crohn’s & Colitis Awareness Week helps: • Educate communities about the challenges individuals face. • Encourage earlier diagnosis, which can greatly improve long-term health. • Support research, which has led to new treatments, better symptom management, and improved quality of life for patients. • Show solidarity with patients who often manage invisible symptoms every single day.
