The bill proposes the enactment of sections 5.2322 and 5.2323 of the Revised Code, designating June as "Male Wellness Month" and the third Monday in June as "Take Your Dad to the Doctor Day." The purpose of "Male Wellness Month" is to promote important health screenings such as prostate exams, colonoscopies, and mental health evaluations among males in both urban and rural areas.
Additionally, the bill mandates the Ohio Department of Health to create a downloadable poster promoting "Take Your Dad to the Doctor Day." It also requires the department and local health boards to display this poster on their websites and in their jurisdictions to encourage participation in the initiative. This act will be officially known as the Male Wellness Month Act.
