Supporting the designation of the week of June 12 through June 18, 2023, as "National Men's Health Week".
HRES 490 is a non-binding resolution supporting the designation of June 12-18, 2023, as "National Men’s Health Week." It acknowledges persistent health disparities affecting men (such as higher rates of heart disease, cancer, and lower healthcare engagement) and urges the public to focus on preventive care. The resolution requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide observance through awareness events and health screenings. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes an existing annual observance established since 1994.
