Men’s health outcomes continue to reveal preventable gaps in engagement and early intervention. This multidisciplinary panel — spanning family medicine, cardiology, urology, and executive-level preventive care — will examine how cardiovascular risk, urologic health, and primary care strategy intersect in real-world practice. Focused on strengthening prevention and reframing proactive care, this discussion equips physicians with practical perspective to better guide their patients while also taking a clear-eyed look at their own risk and longevity.
