Check Out the June Book of the Month The Community Health Resource Center at Griffin Hospital is promoting Men's Health Month by highlighting Man Overboard!: A Medical Lifeline for the Aging Male as its June Book of the Month. Regardless of hair pattern, shoe size or IPA preference – this book helps men understand their health and live their best life with this humorous but authoritative manual for the aging male. With chapters like “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs,” “Andropause,” and “Move It or Lose It,” men will learn how to: Eat right, exercise effectively, and manage their weight; Address their risks for heart disease, reduce stress, and deal with back pain; Avoid the three cancers that men commonly develop and know if their T levels are right; Navigate challenges in the bedroom, deal with thinning hair, and handle getting older - not unscathed, but with a sense of control and dignity. Located on the ground floor of Griffin Hospital the HRC is a traditional free lending library that provides an array of medical and health information. The Center contains a collection of easy-to-read health and lifestyle related materials for patients and their families to become better informed and make more educated decisions about the various treatment options available to them.
