Men from across Cicero gathered at the Cicero Community Center this week for a special event focused on one essential mission: encouraging men to take charge of their health. The annual Men’s Health Event, hosted by the Cicero Health Department, was a comprehensive wellness initiative featuring free health screenings, mental health resources, expert discussions, and interactive activities. The event was led by Vanessa Parrish, Director of Public Health Operations, who is dedicated to empowering men to care for their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. With the strong support of Town President Larry Dominick and the Board of Trustees, the event took a holistic approach to men’s health. Interactive highlights included:

• Educational sessions from Peak Performance

• Free men’s haircuts provided by How to Fade

• “Stop the Bleed” safety demonstrations led by the Cicero Fire Department

• Health Screenings including PSA’s (for men) by the Cicero Health Department

The Men’s Health Event was more than just a fair—it was a call to action. For the men of Cicero, it served as a powerful reminder that good health is the foundation of a stronger community.
