WASHINGTON - Washingtoner -- Men's Health Network (MHN) is proud to promote men's health growth as 2025 closes. Great progress was made in health education, outreach, partnership development, advocacy, and the promotion of critical men's health issues. MHN encourages individuals, families, and organizations to consider supporting men's health through end-of-year giving.

In 2025, MHN advanced its mission to reach men where they live, work, play, and pray through expanded community programs, partnerships, and national awareness. These initiatives strengthen prevention, support emotional well-being, and improve health outcomes.

Key accomplishments:

• Record engagement: Men's Health Month / Men's Health Week.
• Expanded programs for Testicular Cancer Awareness Month / Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
• Increased education and tools highlighting prevention, early detection, and mental health awareness.
• Growth of the MHN Ambassador Program, empowering community members to promote men's health initiatives.

Strengthening Leadership, Workforce Development, & Partnerships
MHN continued to expand its comprehensive internship programs in public health, communications, advocacy, and nonprofit leadership.
