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 lifestyle choices. 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, with significant participation from organizations like the Men's Health Network.

The resolution highlights the concerning health disparities faced by men, including lower life expectancy and higher rates of various health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and mental health challenges. It also notes the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on men's health, which has exacerbated these issues. The resolution encourages men to take proactive steps in their health and well-being, while also designating June 13, 2025, as Wear Blue Day to further support men's health awareness. The resolution takes effect immediately upon passage.
