The Manhood Tree Men's Health Initiative
Men's health is community health. Men's health is family health. The men in our community, brothers, fathers and friends must take action and stay aware of their physical and mental health needs. The Men's Health Initiative was inspired by the untimely death of actor, Chadwick Boseman from colon cancer. The loss of the esteemed actor put on the forefront the need to stay up to date with our doctor's appointments and to be aware of the many health related test that can prevent health related complications. The Men's Health Initiative developed a checklist for men that detailed different illnesses they need to be aware of and consistently manage. We also established a campaign to encouraged men to go to the doctor on a routine basis, get tested and be aware of their health concerns. In 2023, we have partnered with Trinity Health of New England, UCONN Health Central AHEC, AETNA, and a host of other community based organizations to provide health screenings in the city of Hartford and the town of East Hartford and Bloomfield. We have also had informative panels by the doctors of Trinity Health and UCONN Health. It is our belief that Men's Health is Community Health and together we can prevent the loss of brothers, fathers and son in our community.

Men's Health Event Artist Collective, December 18. 2021
At the Men's Health Event, we pulled together a group of panelist who where experiencing different health issues to share their stories with the community. Our hope with this event was to provide information from individuals with lived experience and to provide audience members the opportunity to receive various screenings that would provide them information about their health. Also, our goal was to encourage participants to go to the doctor and get checked. Check out the video below for the entire program.which was streamed live on online.
