MISSION STATEMENT
Another goal of MAF is to have a Mobile clinic complete with MRI machine, Catscan, x-ray , mammogram, Full body diagnostic scan, Free standing all male 327 bed hospital just for men a state of the art facility that will have medical library and urgent care facility.
We are currently trying raise money to place two or more of these facilities in every state of the United States of America.
The Mobile clinic will be able to reach men in the communities across the county. Although we really want people to understand how important it is to see a Doctor, we understand that for many reasons it is sometimes difficult. We feel this program will be an effective measure to aid those with such difficulties. As well as providing general healthcare, we are hoping that the mobile clinics can also get men tied in with Doctors for regular check-ups.
We are aggressively procuring donations to fulfill this goal; we believe with a mobile team; we will be able to reach men that would not normally come into a clinic. So we would be in the position to provide professional medical care.

We are reaching out to organizations Of The NFL.NBA.MLB to join us in the plight towards Male Awareness. We would like any form of donations to help benefit the foundation. In addition, we would like organizations to recognize the foundation and support the cause by cosigning with MAF and feature MAF (its logo and tee shirt etc.) at various games and events. We believe men will pay more attention to their health if their favorite stars, athletes and mentors agree that Male Awareness is important and in hopes it would encourage them to take their lives more serious and get their yearly Check ups we look forward to your support of MAF and helping men see the importance of yearly examinations and their overall health.
Our organization aims to do just that, but with your help the number of lives that could be saved will increase exponentially. In fact, we could save not just a life now but also many future lives with just a day of your time. How can we make this happen?
The offer is simple. T-Shirts. Now you’re probably scratching your head asking how T-Shirts could save lives? However, it is not only viable but would only take a fraction of the cost or Any Monetary Payment Would be appreciated.
Our idea is “Male Awareness Day” one day of the season when all the fans that come to the game receive our bold stated blue T-Shirts Or White with “Male Awareness Foundation” On one side written on them., And your logo on the front or reverse it. Speaking to the fans that their health is important to you will make a bold statement and reach the ears of millions of adoring fans.
The Male Awareness Foundation is striving to stress the importance of education, awareness, and prevention of all our men by showing them “We Care” won’t you step forward and show them “You care” too? Here Is A YouTube PSA click for more info, https://www. youtube.com/maleawareness

Throughout most of the year, men’s health is rarely discussed.
These are some of the main reasons behind the creation of the Male Awareness Foundation.
The mission of the Male Awareness Foundation is simple – to reduce the number of men dying prematurely. Since 2014 Male Awareness Foundation has been trying to help.
Male Awareness Foundation Want To help health projects around the world that support men’s health research and efforts that transform the way health services reach and support men.
These are important endeavors considering that close to 60% of American men do not see a doctor regularly unless they are already seriously ill.
In a survey from 2019, 20% of men admitted to not being honest with their doctor when they do in fact see them. The top reasons for doing so were an embarrassment, resistance to being told to change their habits/lifestyle, and not being ready to face or know their diagnosis.
Celebrated each year during June, Men’s Health Month brings awareness to the health issues all men face. Hosted by Men’s Health Network since 1992, the month is dedicated to enriching men’s health and wellness through a broad spectrum of national screening and educational campaigns.
Men’s Health Month is an annual observance aimed at raising awareness of preventable health problems and encouraging early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys.
It’s important as a senior man to brush up on your health facts, listen to your body, and be sure to get regular checkups. Not only will you live longer, you’ll have a better quality of life.
General Health – Even if you don’t feel sick if it important to see your doctor regularly and schedule annual exams. Here are some of the screening tests recommended by Johns Hopkins for men 65+:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm
- Blood pressure
- Colorectal Cancer
- Depression
- Diabetes mellitus, type 2
- Lipid disorders
- STD
Illness – It seems simple but if you’re sick — see your doctor. According to the Health in Aging Foundation, 40% of men said that when sick, they delay seeking medical care for a few days; and 17% percent said they would wait “at least a week.” Don’t wait. Prompt medical care can be the difference between life and death.
Across the country at health fairs and other health education and outreach activities, the focus of this month is the encouragement of men, boys, and their families to take control of male health issues with the proper screenings and care.

throughout most of the year; men’s health is rarely discussed.
The gap in life expectancy between men and women has widened over the last century with women now outliving men by an average of 5 years. It may not seem like much on the surface, but let’s take a closer look at why and where men’s health is in crisis.
The World Health Organization (WHO) discovered a striking gender-based gap in the health risks related to certain behaviors and habits. 54% of men reported being a current drinker (alcohol) compared to 32% of women. 34% of men over the age of 15 reported the regular use of tobacco compared to just 6% of women over the same age.
Diet plays a role as well. A Massachusetts survey reported that women were about 50% more likely than men to meet the goal of eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Poor eating habits put men at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Men are also more likely to have higher-risk occupations such as construction, driving, mining, police officer, firefighter, and the military, where there is a greater occurrence of workplace injuries and fatalities.
In a survey from 2019, 20% of men admitted to not being honest with their doctor when they do in fact see them. The top reasons for doing so were an embarrassment, resistance to being told to change their habits/lifestyle, and not being ready to face or know their diagnosis.
Even though men’s health isn’t talked about often, the health community is aware of the problem. However, only four countries (Ireland, Brazil, Iran, and Australia) have national health policies or strategies that are specifically for men.
