June brings the launch of Men's Health Month and International Men's Health Week. Men's Health Month, now in its 23rd year, is credited with the increase in awareness and wellness activities for boys and men in all areas of the public and private sectors, resulting in better health outcomes and longer life expectancy.

“Men are a crucial part of the family structure. Family leave that includes paternity leave will give fathers time to bond with their newborns - "this is important for both parents,” said Ana Fadich, VP of MHN. “We fully support and encourage Congress to draft legislation and policies that make family leave available to all Americans.”
