 Well, let's visit some people fear a trip to the doctor's office. For this week's community spotlight though, our A.J. Feldman shows us how in Wadena the doctor was brought to the people. Today was Tri-County Health Care's annual Men's Night Out, a free educational event that focuses on health and wellness for men of all ages. It's a chance for them to have that opportunity to do some basic health education as well as against some basic health screenings in a less intrusive manner. It facilitates us taking the health care out to them, to the community, rather than necessarily forcing them to get into the clinic. We don't promote our men's health as well, so we like to do events like this so that we can actually get men in and talk to them about how to stay healthy and how to just be more engaged in their own health. It's an important event that allows people to take a hard look at their health instead of pushing it off to the side like some men do. Men don't like to talk about it, they don't like to come to the doctor, they don't like to think about it. You know, the pain in my belly is going to go away. The problem is it might not be just constipation, maybe it's a colon cancer or something. Tables throughout the gym allowed people to learn about Tri-County Health Care's services, including my chart, a way for patients to have a comprehensive look at their health history. Studies have shown that if you're more engaged with your own health, you will have better outcomes and be healthier overall, so getting people signed up for my chart is really pivotal to that process. There was also an interactive demonstration where people could try their hand at laparoscopic surgery. It always looks easy when the other guy's doing it, but it's a trick with hand-eye coordination and depth perception and how to work with your left hand and your right hand when you're watching on a TV screen. So they had fun learning that, and it's a skill that's very important for the big surgery. If the free services weren't enough, this year's keynote speaker was former Twins first baseman Justin Morneau, who spoke about his career and his own battle with concussions. So we've always tried to have a relatively famous name for the men's event. It is more interesting that sometimes it feels like with the men, we really have to bring a name, somebody who's got a good name recognition that will be a draw.
