June marks Men’s Health Month and Gee’s Clippers, along with its partners, is hosting a men’s health clinic to encourage more men to seek medical attention. The initiative was started by Gee Smith nearly four years ago with the help of Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Network Health. Gee Smith, the owner of Gee’s Clippers, recognized that men were more comfortable opening up to him than to a doctor. This event aims to break down barriers and make healthcare more accessible to men.
The event called “Reclaiming Wellness: Dismantling Health Stigmas for Men of Color” will take place today at Gee’s Clippers from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Men can register in advance or simply show up at the clinic. The goal is to provide a trusted space for men to discuss their health concerns and receive the care they need. Gee’s Clippers is committed to fostering a positive relationship between men and their healthcare providers.
