About Us

A National Movement for Men’s Health

Closing this gap takes all of us. That’s why we’re building and uniting a national network of supporters, health professionals, and organizational partners to address the key factors driving men’s lower life expectancy. We focus on solutions that tackle the biggest threats to men’s health, including:

• Fighting Cancer – Through initiatives like Your Cancer, Your Plan, we connect men with the resources they need to navigate their diagnosis and treatment options.
• Cardiovascular Health Awareness – Educating men on how to prevent heart disease and navigating treatment for the leading cause of death among males.
• Mental Health & Suicide Prevention – Breaking the stigma and ensuring men have access to critical support systems.
• Chronic Disease Management – Helping men take control of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Healthy Lifestyle Programs – Equipping men with the knowledge to develop better nutrition, fitness, and overall wellness habits.

Our Bold Goal: Cutting the Lifespan Gap in Half

By the end of the decade, we will cut the lifespan gap in half. How? By fundamentally changing the way men approach their health. Through research-backed programs, strategic partnerships, and national awareness campaigns, we are driving real change in health outcomes—saving countless lives and keeping families together.
