Men-in-Pause, Inc. intends to address the public health issue of healthcare disparities
in the United States among lower income males, which encompasses African Americans, Hispanics,
American Indians, and Alaska Natives. This issue affects all of us in various
ways either directly or indirectly. Most of us have a family member, friend or co-worker who is terminally ill or is suspected
of having a life threatening disease such as Cancer, HIV/AIDS, or Diabetes, which cannot be treated due to their socioeconomic
status or as it is often suggested a language barrier. It is a known fact that
health disparities exist in access, treatment, outcomes, and health status in the United States. Men-in-Pause does not
exist to question poor health statistics, but rather decrease and some day dissolve them.
Research shows that: “Low-income Americans run the highest risk of being uninsured. In 1999, 42.6 million people lacked health insurance, and the numbers have increased
in years since. Among minority groups, Hispanics are the least likely to have
health insurance (34.3% uninsured), followed by American Indians and Alaska Natives (27.1% uninsured) based on a 3-year average
(1997-1999). Numerous studies over the past two decades have documented racial
and ethnic differences in care for heart conditions. The strongest studies provide
credible evidence that African Americans are less likely than whites to receive diagnostic procedures, revascularization procedures
and thrombolytic therapy...”[i]

We have a right to health and happiness! After a hard days work to provide for ourselves and our families,
men must develop an atmosphere where there is peace, love, and contentment. All of which are very vital to good health.
Stress, is likely the number one killer among all people. Historically, we are known to surpress our
emotions and disagreements to keep peach for others, ignoring the need for acceptance and to be heard and understand deep
within.
Men, we must take stand for ourseles and work toward personal goals that will keep us happy, healthy, and
smiling!

It's okay to rest! We don't have to prove anything to the world, just being honest people caring for what God has
given us is sufficient!
Sometimes life brings about circumstances that prevent us from being able to produce in the manner of which we were once
used to.
It's okay man to stop what you're doing just long enough to replenish your strength. Yes, we are the stronger vessel,
but we are not the almighty!
Stop going so fast and just trust God to see you through. He knows and he cares!
