“Men’s mental health is in crisis, yet it remains largely
unspoken. Too many men struggle in silence due to
stigma, cultural expectations, and a lack of accessible
support,” –Men’s Mental Health Summit

With Uvalde Memorial Hospital’s Women’s Health Expo which occurred on October 7th behind us. The question occurred to me: What health care facilities and organizations address men’s health care needs?
A quick question to ChatGPT provided the following answer:
In San Antonio, you’ve got places like Urology San Antonio, University Health, Gameday Men’s Health Clinic, Total Men’s Primary Care, Revibe Men’s Health, Ageless Men’s Health, and UT Health San Antonio. They cover everything from prostate care to testosterone therapy and general men’s health needs.
Another question I asked was: Are there any hospitals or organizations that offer a men’s health expo or similar event in San Antonio?
Again Chat GPT was ready with an answer:
In San Antonio, there’s a Men’s Mental Health Summit happening on July 9 at Rise Recovery. There’s also The Whole Man Wellness Summit on November 22 at the American Legion. And from October 31 to November 2, there’s a Men’s and Women’s Health for Primary Care conference at the Westin Riverwalk.

The Whole Mans-Men’s Wellness Summit
According to the Men’s Mental Health Summit Website it reads:
” Men’s mental health is in crisis, yet it remains largely
unspoken. Too many men struggle in silence due to
stigma, cultural expectations, and a lack of accessible
support.
Studies show that men are far less likely than women
to seek professional mental health help, and instead,
many turn to substance use, isolation, or aggression
to cope.
With suicide being the second leading cause of death
for men under 45 and veterans at a 50% higher risk
than civilians, it’s clear that traditional approaches
aren’t working.
We cannot wait for a crisis to act.”
