Man Cave Health Awards Nominations Update – Feb. 11, 2019

2019 MAN CAVE HEALTH AWARDS NOMINATIONS

Announcing the latest round of Nominations in Honor of Outstanding Achievements in the field of

Men’s Health

New York, NY:  Man Cave Health, Inc. proudly announces the most recent round of nominees for its First Annual International Awards ceremony to be held in May 2019.  More than 1,000 awards will be granted across the globe in recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of Men’s Health.  We honor both the unsung heroes and the leaders in healthcare, science, government, business, education, sports, entertainment and the media for their commitment to prioritizing Men’s Health.

Driven by the notion that “men take better care of their cars than they do their bodies”, Man Cave Health is breaking the silence surrounding sensitive health topics for men.  There are approximately 3.7 billion men in the world, and they will die on average, almost five years earlier than women because they are less likely to seek preventive care for themselves.  Nearly 81% of men remember the make & model of their first car, but barely half remember their last doctor visit.

“For too long, men have taken a backseat to their healthcare journey.  I believe Man Cave Health will be an integral part of changing that,” writes Ashutosh Tewari, MBBS, MCh, FRCS (Hon.), Professor, Department of Urology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Man Cave Health Founder and Chairman, Thomas Milana, Jr. said, “The time has come to make men’s health a priority, and Man Cave Health is proud to lead the charge in shining a spotlight on the people who are doing just that.”

The nominees for Entertainer of the Year are:

Jimmy Charles, for his dedication to the prostate cancer community for the songs “Superman” and “I Am Not Alone”.

Vincent Pastore for sharing his experience with prostate cancer.  Vinny says, “I want you guys to listen.” So Vinny, we’re listening!

Ben Stiller, for speaking out against the US Preventive Service Task Force’s recommendation to increase the age for regular PSA testing from age 40 to age 50.  As Mr. Stiller points out, had his doctor followed that recommendation, he would not have known about his tumor until it was at least 2 years too late to treat.

The nominees for Sports League of the Year are:

Major League Baseball (USA), for its dedication to prostate cancer awareness through the annual Home Run Challenge.

Premier League British Football for participating in the FFIT program.

The nominees for Organizations Combating the Opioid Crisis (while this category is not specific to men’s health, we feel it is a critical health issue) are:

The Behavioral Health Leadership Institute for the van they provide outside of the Baltimore City Jail.  On 2 days per week, BHLI is able to provide physicals and prescriptions for buprenorphine for men exiting the jail.  The organization realized the need for this integral service upon noticing the upswing in overdoses among those recently released from incarceration; the best way to address the issue was to target those exiting the facility.  Kudos!
