The Council of the District of Columbia has passed a resolution recognizing June as Men's Health Month and the week of June 9-15, 2025, as Men's Health Week. This initiative aims to raise public awareness about men's health issues, emphasizing the importance of regular disease prevention screenings and healthier lifestyles. Men's Health Month, which began in 1994, is part of a broader international effort to educate men, boys, and their families about health and wellness. The resolution highlights the ongoing challenges men face, including lower life expectancy compared to women and higher rates of health problems such as diabetes, obesity, and mental health issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The resolution also acknowledges the role of the Men's Health Network in promoting awareness and organizing events, including health fairs on Capitol Hill. It encourages men to take proactive steps in their health and well-being, while also urging fathers to serve as role models for their children. Additionally, June 13, 2025, will be recognized as Wear Blue Day to further support men's health awareness. The resolution is effective immediately upon passage.
