MIU Men’s Health Foundation | Strategic Alliance Partners

The MIU Men’s Health Foundation was formed in 2008 by Dr. Michael Lutz to address health disparities for urban men, specifically the lack of available healthcare and the early detection of treatable diseases. Since its inception, the Foundation has grown to become the leading advocacy for men’s health in Michigan through its unique programs and research that address health disparities, reduce disproportionately high rates of unhealthy behaviors, identify diseases early when many are treatable, support men during treatment and reduce mortality rates for urban men. Data gathered at our events confirm that race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and geographic location are key factors contributing to the lack of available healthcare and disparities in men’s health.
