June is Men’s Health Awareness Month 🤎
Native and Indigenous men continue to face barriers to healthcare access and experience higher rates of chronic health conditions. By encouraging prevention, reducing stigma, and creating space for conversations around health, we can help build stronger and healthier communities.
This month, take time to schedule that checkup, prioritize rest, spend time with loved ones, and check in with yourself. Small actions today can make a lasting impact tomorrow.
UAII is committed to supporting Native and Indigenous men through culturally centered healthcare, wellness services, and community resources throughout Los Angeles. Learn more about UAII Health Services: https://uaii.org/health-services/

From their ancestral homelands in the Southeast to present-day Oklahoma, the Mvskoke people have preserved their language, culture, governance, and traditions through generations. Today, the Mvskoke Nation continues to thrive while honoring the teachings and responsibilities passed down by their ancestors.
Join us as we celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of the Mvskoke people.
