Movember & Men's Health

The month of November is “Movember”, a men’s health awareness initiative to take on men’s health issues, particularly mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Vista is supporting Movember with a special health package promo for guys, including a general health checkup and prostate screening.

About Movember

The state of men’s health is in a crisis. Simply put, men are dying too young.

Gender is one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and life expectancy. For men, this is not good news. On average, across the world, men die 4.5 years earlier than women.

A growing number of men – around 10.8M globally – are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men.

And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.

If there’s one thing The Order of Mo is known for, it’s this. Growing a Mo is our symbol for better men’s health. It also grabs attention and starts important conversations. So give it a go – it shows the world you stand for healthier men and a healthier world.
