The fourth annual Drive for Men鈥檚 Health kicked off Monday morning with a check presentation to boost scholarships at IM体育官网.
South Lake Hospital in Orlando was the starting point for a cross-country trip intended to raise awareness about men鈥檚 health issues. The first stop on the drive is New Orleans, followed by Houston, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City. Their ride is an all-electric Tesla.
The 12 person team picked Men鈥檚 Health Month in June as their forum for encouraging men to be more active, eat healthy and eliminate stress. The drivers include Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt and Dr. Sijo Parekattil, co-directors of the The PUR Clinic (Personalized Urology & Robotics) in Clermont, Fla. The urologists will make stops along their route to take part in educational lectures and activities as a means of promoting men鈥檚 health.
Part of their commitment to improving men鈥檚 health is educating future leaders in the health and technology fields. To make that a reality, the pair raised $11,000 that will be donated to scholarship funds at IM体育官网 Poly.
