Before the nation’s best college basketball teams take the court for March Madness, UCHealth is calling a timeout \u2014 to spotlight men’s health and help the fellows become better players at maintaining healthy lifestyles.<\/p>\n

With assists from the Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche<\/a>, Denver Nuggets<\/a> and other Colorado sports programs, UCHealth will host three March MAN-ness events throughout the state during the first week of March to emphasize the importance of disease prevention and early detection for men.<\/p>\n

The event will be held from 6-8 p.m. March 7 at Budweiser Events Center in Loveland; March 9 at The Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs; and March 10 at Top Golf in Cenntennial.<\/p>\n

The free event is the perfect mixture of health information, bar trivia, pushup contests, beer, food and fun for men.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of us guys get a little stubborn when it comes to making sure our bodies are okay. So, events like this are great to raise awareness and talk about it openly where everyone is comfortable,\u201d said Clarke Saunders, a Colorado Eagles<\/a> player who was a featured guest at last year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

\"UCHealth\u2019sTrivia and feats of strength are just part of the fun of UCHealth\u2019s March MAN-ness. The annual events put the spotlight on men\u2019s health topics that aren\u2019t discussed enough. This year\u2019s events will be held March 7 in Loveland, March 9 in Colorado Springs and March 10 in Centennial. Photo by UCHealth.
\nThe discussions at March MAN-ness raise awareness of what men need to watch out for and motivate them to start conversations with their doctors, said Dr. Douglas Kemme<\/a>, a UCHealth oncologist who has been a featured panelist at the event several times in the past. \u201cNot only can the right screenings detect a problem, they often can catch that problem at an early stage, before the cancer has a chance to spread much. That can increase a person\u2019s survival rate dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s March MAN-ness will feature useful insights from men’s health experts in primary care, cardiology, oncology and orthopedics, as well as surprise guest appearances.<\/p>\n
