5th Annual Man Up for Your Health

The Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center is hosting our “5th Annual Man Up Event “on Monday, September 8, 2025, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in Building 137, Sports Atrium. The “Man Up Event” is geared toward encouraging male veterans to take control of their health and wellbeing.

This year's theme is "Connecting the Dots" between hypertension and diabetes in the male population. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the pressure of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body. The symptoms of diabetes can be subtle, develop over time, and are often mistaken for other common conditions like dehydration, fatigue, or aging. This is particularly true for type 2 diabetes, where high blood glucose may go unnoticed for years.

All Male Veterans please come out and enjoy your educational event !!!!!
