In honor of this year's Men's Health Month (June), Florida Blue is excited to support Platinum Men's Health and Wellness and Raise Your Glass Promotions to collaborate and present the inaugural "Fully Alive Men’s Health Summit."
This groundbreaking series will shine a spotlight on men’s health and well-being, offering valuable insights, resources, and inspiration to men everywhere.
This community initiative is aimed at not only the men, but just as importantly, to the women who can support the men in their lives and help them live longer, healthier lives. We want to engage and educate all women (wives, mothers, sisters, aunties, daughters, nieces, granddaughters, and friends).
The Fully Alive Men’s Health Summit will explore a wide range of topics, including physical health, mental wellness, nutrition, fitness, and more. Through engaging presentations and panel testimonials, attendees will gain valuable knowledge and practical strategies for living their healthiest, most fulfilling lives.
