Commissioners proclaim June 2026 as Men's Health Month
Summary
The board unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing June 2026 as Men's Health Month in Cameron County, citing higher male mortality and the establishment of National Men's Health Week by Congress in 1994.
The Cameron County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a proclamation designating June 2026 as Men's Health Month.
Committee member (Speaker 7) read the text of the proclamation, citing Congress's passage of a period establishing National Men's Health Week (signed into law 05/31/1994) and noting that men have shorter average life expectancy and higher rates of chronic disease. "Men's Health Month provides an opportunity to recognize the mental and physical health needs of men and boys while encouraging fathers and caregivers to serve as positive role models," the speaker said during the reading.
The chair called for a motion; the motion was made and seconded and the board voted in favor. Officials said the proclamation aims to raise awareness of preventive screenings, early detection and mental‑health supports.
