During this time a greater emphasis on health education and outreach activities are aimed at bringing awareness to men and the importance of health and medical annual checkups.

The Maverick County Hospital District is attentive to the importance of allaround health through preventive medicine and screenings aimed at all members of the family including men.

Through the MCHD physicians, which includes Urologist Dr. Michael Ross Crone, the district urges men to understand their body functions and health and visit their medical doctor regularly.

The role of a Urologist in men's health is an important one due to how urological conditions and diseases, including urinary incontinence, prostate, kidney diseases, bladder treatment, cystoscopies, and other urological conditions are treated among men and women as well.

Through these efforts, chronic diseases can be prevented and overall health can be improved.

It is through these medical efforts that Urologist such as Dr. Crone play an important role in overall men’s health.

The purpose of Men’s Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This month gives health care providers an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and illnesses.
