UNC Department of Urology Addressing the silent health crisis among men

Our Outreach in Action

Why It Matters

Across the state, men face higher rates of chronic disease, lower engagement in preventive care, and shorter life expectancy than women. These challenges are not just medical—they’re social, economic, and cultural.

Through outreach, partnership, and education, we’re working to close those gaps and strengthen the health of men, families, and communities throughout North Carolina.
