DCMH health event attracts record number of men

Was held this past weekend

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – There was a record-breaking number of participants at Decatur County Memorial Hospital’s recent Men’s Health Tailgate.

The event allowed men of all ages to receive a range of essential health screenings and services. 

There were more than 120 men who attended the event which was held at the state-of-the-art Rehabilitation & Medical Offices building on Saturday. 

"DCMH’s screening events have the power to save lives—at a past event, DCMH helped discover an undiagnosed form of cancer in someone who otherwise may not have known. By offering these screenings, we are dedicated to giving our community the tools to understand their health and, hopefully, to catch any concerns early,” said Mary McCullough, MD. 

Some programs included A1C assessments, blood pressure, lipid panel, PSA, mental health, shoulder assessment, skin cancer screenings, and sleep assessment screenings. Attendees also had the option to receive flu vaccinations. 

The DCMH providers at the event performing the free screenings included Dr. Isaiah Steffen, Dr. Scott Washburn, Dr. Amanda Williams, Marie Menchhofer, FNP-C, Kelly Miller, FNP-C, and Desirae Moore, LCSW. These screenings were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Hospital Foundation of Decatur County (Hospital Foundation) and Lohrum Electrical, LLC.

Many attendees could also schedule appointments with DCMH Radiology for heart scans and/or lung scans, providing critical insight into personal health.

Beyond the medical services offered, participants enjoyed a delicious breakfast made by the DCMH Dietary team, spoke with DCMH department representatives in the ‘Health Zone’, engaged with Family Medicine nurse practitioners Marie Menchhofer and Kelly Miller, and took guided tours of the new building. 

There were more than 40 DCMH employees who made the event possible. 

“We’re honored to bring essential health screenings to our community, making healthcare more accessible and removing barriers to quality care for all,” said Liz McCoy, Manager, Marketing & Communications at DCMH.
