In November 2011, the MIU Men’s Health Foundation and its partners coordinated the first-ever free Men’s Health Event, providing more than 700 men, even those without health insurance, with free health screenings and information sessions to give them a better understanding of how to stay healthy. The Foundation also has supported educational seminars throughout southeastern Michigan, dedicated to men’s health topics.
