For Men in Beaumont & Southeast Texas
June is Men’s Health Month, a national observance to raise awareness about preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment among men and boys. At Premier Urgent Care in Beaumont, we believe that taking charge of your health doesn’t have to be complicated—and it doesn’t require waiting until something goes wrong.
Why Men’s Health Matters
Men are less likely than women to schedule routine medical appointments, which can delay the diagnosis of common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and even certain cancers. In fact, studies show men are 24% less likely than women to have visited a healthcare provider in the past year.
Avoiding check-ups may feel easier in the short term, but it can come at a high cost. Many chronic conditions are manageable—or even preventable—with early care.
Health Tips for Men of All Ages
This month, take a few simple steps to support your long-term health:
- Schedule a check-up. Whether it’s a primary care provider or a visit to Premier Urgent Care for lab work or health screenings, don’t put it off.
- Know your numbers. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and BMI are critical indicators of health.
- Don’t ignore symptoms. If something feels off—fatigue, weight gain, chest discomfort, or unusual pain—come see us. We’re here to help.
- Take care of your mental health. Depression and anxiety often go unspoken in men. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, talk to someone or seek help.
- Prioritize sleep and movement. Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night and regular physical activity—even short walks help.
