MEN'S HEALTH INITIATIVE, INC.

Men's Health Network (MHN) is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to reach men, boys, and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health awareness and disease prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation. When you have Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib, your risk of stroke increases. Anticoagulation therapies can help reduce this risk. These oral medications, however, have side effects such as unwanted bleeding. Learn more about how to control these risks by taking control of your health and talking with your healthcare provider. Tips for talking to your healthcare provider about anticoagulation to reduce the risk for stroke Of all the things in the fields of both public health and healthcare that pique my interest and attention most, it’s health disparities, specifically the numbers 5 and 7. In a country as productive and innovative as ours, it’s a particularly vexing reality check whenever I’m faced with those two numbers, which I’ve listed below along with their respective contexts. Health disparities are the end products of a variety of complex factors including, but not limited to the social determinants of health: SES, transportation, access to healthcare, employment, etc. Additionally, they are also impacted by biological (our genes and family history), social (our culture and networks) and environmental (our physical surroundings) factors. Lastly, health disparities are impacted by individual health behaviors and lifestyles. How did you end up doing the work that you’re currently doing? In community wellness, our mission (the same as INTEGRIS Health) is to improve the health of the people and communities we serve. Our department works in many at-risk, minority and under-served communities. The state of Oklahoma has very poor health indicators for about everything you can possibly imagine. We are working to provide health, wellness and health education services to those most in need, but to also educate people in general about the need to take care of themselves – know their health numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, etc.), to get routine and regular exams, among others. One area that continued to grab my attention was comparatively poor health indicators for men. It was alarming to discover that such few men actually went to a regular doctor or health provider, let alone had access to any type of screenings. INTEGRIS had been doing a Women’s Health Forum for many years then. Most of their outreach efforts were for women who had insurance (employer-based or from retirement) but a majority of them were proactive with their health for the most part. . We finally found a resource to help us secure health education literature for our upcoming men’s health conference and MHN’s Jim Boyd and Scott Williams were crucial partners in planning that event and others since. MHN has been one of our biggest supporters and partners in our efforts to improve the health of men and boys in Oklahoma. The partnership has given me the opportunity to present our program and services across the country and at the 2009 International Society on Men’s Health in Vienna, Austria. I’ve served on several committees through recommendations by MHN, and that’s how I got involved with the I’m inspired by all the work being done which focuses on the health of men and boys. It’s amazing to see how awareness and interest to keep men healthy has escalated over the years among government officials, businesses, marketing professionals and the public as a whole. I’m also inspired by all of the great programs and services we’ve implemented here in Oklahoma, not just for men, but to improve health outcomes for the entire population, including children, senior citizens and minority populations. We have a long way to go to show impact, but we are slowly making progress throughout the state. By bringing men back into the health care system, INTEGRIS is helping them overcome one of their biggest health risks – that of just being a man. And knowledge is power. Even if males are aware of just two numbers, blood pressure and cholesterol, and take active steps to lower them if either reaches an unhealthy range, it can make a huge difference in their longevity. My vision for INTEGRIS Health is really coming together for our community. INTEGRIS is one of the few health systems in Oklahoma that gives back to the community in such a substantial manner. We are finding new partnership and collaborative opportunities with agencies and organizations who have similar missions. Additionally, we continue to explore innovative ways to make an impact on the health and wellness of our communities by sharing resources and services with partners like the Regional Food Bank, Oklahoma City County Health Department, the local Federally Qualified Health Center, churches and colleges. All of these groups are coming together to hold events, offer services, programs and share resources, all of which help us improve the lives and health of our targeted communities. I hope in the next year, our work to develop a comprehensive health, wellness and education resource center will come to fruition. I hope we can replicate this model across our service areas in the next 5 to 10 years. The needs in all of these areas listed above are, unfortunately, not being met in many areas. We observe access to care being a recurring obstacle for many individuals. People can’t afford health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and/or their co-payments, so they have to use our emergency departments as a clinic or their healthcare provider. We have about 19 free clinics in the metro area that are at capacity due to unmet needs of populations with limited resources or circumstances – uninsured, undocumented and underprivileged. UTI’s happen when bacteria get into the urinary tract from the urethra and travel into the bladder or further on to the kidneys. When functioning normally, the urinary tract makes and stores urine, one of the waste products of the body. Urine is made in the kidneys and travels down the ureters to the bladder, which serves as a storage container for urine. Urine from the bladder is emptied through the urethra, a tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body. When bacteria gets into the urethra, for one reason or another that is when the typical symptoms of UTI can present themselves.
