Story here. Excerpt:
'Encouraged and surprised by the success of a one-day men's health clinic in Windsor, health care professionals say more similar programs are needed in the community to screen men for cancer, diabetes and other illnesses.
...
The clinic, the first of its kind in the community, was staffed by two SCHC physicians and two oncologists from the Windsor Regional Cancer Centre, as well as other SCHC staff and volunteers from the Windsor and Essex County Prostate Cancer Support Group. They offered screening for prostate, testicular, colorectal and skin cancer, as well as testing for diabetes and high blood pressure, among other chronic conditions. The initiative was supported by the cancer centre's foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society.'

That is good news. They need to start one in the U.S.

The very thought of starting a men's health clinic in America is enough to make any feminist cry out in agony!!

Great idea. I hope they follow through on it. There are about 100x more health services available for women in Canada than there are for men.

It's a start, but to me it's just making a token gesture. Men, need year-round clinics (like women have).

A one-day health clinic is insulting and says everything about how little men's lives are valued.
