💜 Strong Men. Strong Minds. Stronger Communities.
Men often put everyone else’s health before their own. Unfortunately, many wait until a small problem becomes a major one before seeking medical care.
Join us Thursday, July 16, at 7:00 PM as UrbanCast welcomes Cedric Williams and Rev. Dr. Sione Tu’Uta, organizers of the Annual Men’s Health Symposium, for a conversation about why this event matters to Central Louisiana.
This discussion isn’t about diagnosing medical conditions. Instead, we’ll explore why community leaders are bringing together health professionals, organizations, and residents to encourage men to prioritize both their physical and mental well-being.
We’ll discuss:
✅ Why men’s health deserves more attention
✅ The inspiration behind the Annual Men’s Health Symposium
✅ Breaking the stigma surrounding men’s physical and mental health
✅ Why many men delay seeking medical care
✅ Building stronger families through healthier men
✅ The role of churches, fraternities, and community organizations
✅ What attendees can expect at the symposium
✅ Why prevention and early screenings matter
✅ Community partnerships supporting healthier lives
✅ How everyone can help encourage the men in their lives
The Annual Men’s Health Symposium will be held Saturday, August 8, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Newman Methodist Family Church, 5700 Oran Street in Alexandria.
The event will feature medical professionals, mental health discussions, vendors, health resources, and educational opportunities designed to empower men to take charge of their health.
