San Andreas, CA...It’s a fact, most men do not talk about their health – with family, friends or especially with a physician. That’s changing in Calaveras County where four community-minded men are speaking out on the topic during Men’s Health Month in November. Bret Harte High School Coach Casey Kester, Calaveras High School Coach Jason Weatherby, firefighter and chaplain Dick Brown and businessman Mark Borchin are teaming up with Mark Twain Medical Center for the “Tackle Your Health” campaign. They are sharing their personal experiences to help other men realize the importance of taking action to live longer – and stronger – lives. “It is very exciting to have these community leaders working with us to tackle the subject of men’s health,” says Bob Diehl, MTMC President and CEO. “They each have a unique perspective to share on the topic.” “The community is invited to our “Tackle Your Health” workshop on Nov. 9,” Diehl adds, “and our spokesmen will be sharing their stories in a month-long public awareness campaign.” The workshop is from 10 a.m. to noon on Nov. 9 in the hospital lobby. There will be several presenters on a variety of topics relating to lifestyle choices and health resources. “Tackle Your Health” spokesmen share a common sense approach to their own health. They have taken action through stress relief, weight management and understanding the impact of family health history.
