June Kicks Off Men’s Health Week: Let’s Talk About It, Guys!

The first week of June marks Men’s Health Week, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the unique health challenges men face and encouraging early detection and treatment of diseases among men and boys. At Perry County Memorial Hospital (PCMH), we’re proud to offer a wide range of services focused on helping the men in our community stay healthy, active, and informed.

Why Men’s Health Week Matters

Statistics show that men are less likely than women to visit a doctor regularly, often waiting until symptoms become severe before seeking care. This delay can lead to more serious health conditions that could have been prevented or managed with routine screenings and early intervention.

Men’s Health Week is a reminder to take your health seriously — for yourself, and for the loved ones counting on you.

PCMH Services for Men’s Health

At PCMH, we offer a variety of services designed to support men’s physical and mental well-being at every stage of life:

Primary Care

Your first line of defense in managing your health. Regular check-ups with a primary care provider help monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, and more — all essential for preventing heart disease and diabetes.

Men’s Preventive Screenings

We provide recommended screenings for:

• Prostate health
• Colorectal cancer
• Blood pressure
• Cholesterol Diabetes

Early detection is key, and our providers can help guide you through the appropriate tests for your age and risk factors.

Behavioral Health Services

Mental health is just as important as physical health. PCMH offers Behavioral Health services for men dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use, or stress. Our compassionate team, including nurse practitioner Haley Kaufman, is here to help without judgment.

General Surgery Services

Thanks to our new partnership with Owensboro Health, PCMH now offers expanded general surgery options close to home. Whether it’s a hernia repair or another procedure, our team is here to support your surgical needs safely and efficiently.

Lab and Diagnostic Imaging

From routine lab work to advanced imaging like X-rays and CT scans, we make it easy to get the tests your provider orders — all under one roof.

Rehabilitation Services

Recovering from an injury or surgery? Our physical, occupational, and speech therapy teams are here to help you regain strength and mobility, with care plans tailored to your goals.
