June is Men's Health Month, a time to raise awareness about serious health issues that disproportionately affect men, including heart attacks, heart disease, and diabetes.
The key to preventing these problems is a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and screenings.
Dr. Douglas Hart, director of echocardiography at White Plains Hospital, joined News 12 this morning to discuss the most important health checks for men and when they should be done.
