June 2021
Let’s talk about
men’s health.
June is Men’s Health Month
What makes a man healthy?
Many things. Maintaining a healthy weight, regular physical activity and healthy eating are just a few.
Others include limiting alcoholic drinks to no more than two per day and staying away from tobacco. Among the many benefits for those who quit tobacco are decreased carbon monoxide in the blood, as well as decreased heart rate and blood pressure.
It's also important to know which cancers most often affect men:
- Prostate
- Colon
- Lung
- Skin (also the most common type of cancer for both men and women)
And, the cancers that only affect men:
- Prostate
- Testicular
- Penile
Screening saves lives. Ask your healthcare provider what screenings they recommend for you.

Hello.
We have exciting news to share. ODS is changing its name to Moda Health.
Moda comes from the latin term "modus" and means "a way". We picked it because that's what we are here to do: help our communities find a way to better health.
Together, we can be more, be better.
