In recognition of Men’s Health Month 2025, Congressman Troy A. Carter Sr. introduced a bipartisan resolution honoring National Men’s Health Week (June 9–15).

Through partnering with the 2025 Congressional Men's Health Caucus, together we can recognizable pattern of neglecting men's and boys' issues—a pattern often driven by the mistaken belief that giving attention to men’s struggles takes something away from other important efforts. As the Caucus continues its work through the remainder of the 118th Congress, it does so with deep respect for the leaders who paved the way—especially Rep. Donald Payne Jr., whose advocacy helped put men’s health on the national stage. Now, a new generation is stepping in—not only on Capitol Hill, but across the country. Nonprofits, doctors, teachers, coaches, and families are joining forces to create a healthier future for our sons, fathers, brothers, and partners.Continue reading
