In honor of June being nationally recognized as Men’s Health Month, the Gloucester County Department of Health will be offering free health screenings for men.

Freeholder Director Robert M. Damminger said, “These free screenings will allow men to gain a better understanding of their current health and make changes, if necessary, to live a healthier life.”
