DC Men's Health Initiative
The Department of Health, in partnership with Pfizer, the Magic Johnson Foundation, and the National Basketball Association, has sponsored "Know Your Score," a men's health initiative. Know Your Score informs men about health screening, including glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, and prostate cancer screening.
The Know Your Score campaign is an integral component of the District of Columbia Men's Health Initiative. The Department of Health launched the initiative to encourage and promote healthier lifestyles for men and make available resources for the prevention and treatment of chronic disease.
The Know Your Score program uses a wallet-sized scorecard to record test results and explain each test and score. Men can keep track of their scores, stay informed about their conditions, and discuss them with their health care providers.
