13th Annual Men’s Health Event Returns to Ford Field Sept. 30

The MIU Men’s Health Foundation is hosting the 13th annual Men’s Health Event on Saturday, September 30, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Ford Field in Detroit. Metro Detroit-area men 18 years and older, with or without health insurance, are encouraged to take advantage of this free event focused on preventative healthcare. Services will include vital screenings, bloodwork, flu vaccinations, HIV testing, oral cancer and dental checks, vision and glaucoma screenings, skin cancer screenings, vein dopplers, diabetic foot checks, heart status monitoring, colorectal cancer FIT kits, posture and spine evaluation, lung function analysis, semenalysis education, kidney screenings and mental health evaluations. “Mental health is men’s health,” said Dr. Michael Lutz, president and founder of the MIU Men’s Health Foundation and a urologist with the Michigan Institute of Urology. “One of the things that is far too often not addressed when it comes to men’s health is the amount of stress, anxiety and fatigue people are dealing with in their daily lives. Mental health issues can translate into physical health issues, and both are equally important when it comes to taking care of our bodies and minds.” An assessment of current health and screenings for some of the most treatable diseases will be provided at the event. Since many illnesses are preventable, the event also offers a better understanding of how to live a healthy lifestyle, information about men’s health topics and increased awareness about advances in health care. The free health screenings and tests will be provided in partnership with Corewell Health, Ascension, Henry Ford Health, Wayne Health, Detroit Mercy Dental and Trinity Health, and are comprehensively valued at more than $2,000. In addition to standard vital measurements, blood screenings will test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, A1c and a full lipid panel. “It’s an easy way to sit down with a medical health expert and ask any questions you have, one-on-one, when you have time, without an appointment” Dr. Lutz said. “You can even bring your list of prescriptions and doses and review them with a pharmacist.” The event will also include free lunch for attendees, the opportunity to kick a field goal, haircuts for men provided by the Michigan Barber School, and inflatables for kids. A job fair will include educational and vocational opportunities for skills-based training. A half-time show at noon will feature an in-depth discussion of what’s new in men’s health in 2023 called “What’s Up, Doc” with Dr. Lutz and Dr. Mark Moyad, director of preventative and alternative medicine for the University of Michigan Medical Center’s Department of Urology.
