Business Announcement

SAGE

Los Angeles, CA (July 8, 2010) The American Journal of Men's Health (published by SAGE) is now endorsed by Men's Health Network.

Men's Health Network (MHN) is a national non-profit organization whose mission is to reach men and their families where they live, work, play, and pray with health prevention messages and tools, screening programs, educational materials, advocacy opportunities, and patient navigation.

This announcement comes at the conclusion of June's Men's Health Month (www.menshealthmonth.org), where the purpose is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. The response has been overwhelming with thousands of awareness activities, i.e. screenings, health fairs, media appearances, and other health education and outreach activities, being held in the USA and around the globe.

"We are delighted to collaborate with SAGE," said Scott T. Williams, Vice President, Men's Health Network. "Our agreement will provide meaningful information, data, resources, and tools to key healthcare providers, academicians, policymakers, and patient advocates in an effort to improve the health of men and their families everywhere."

MHN was founded in 1992 by a group of health professionals and others interested in improving the health and well-being of men, boys, and families. Today, MHN's Board of Advisors totals over 800 physicians and key thought leaders in the field of men's health.

"SAGE is very pleased to have earned the endorsement of Men's Health Network for the American Journal of Men's Health," said Jayne Marks, SAGE Vice President and Editorial Director, Library Information Group. "Their stamp of approval highlights the importance of the high-quality information on men's health published in the journal."
