Whole-Person Care for Every Stage of Life
At Ellenville Regional Hospital, we offer comprehensive, personalized health care for men—from routine wellness visits to specialized treatment and diagnostics. Our care model supports men through all life stages, focusing on prevention, early detection, and proactive treatment of both common and complex health concerns.
Staying on top of annual check-ups and health screenings is one of the most important things men can do to maintain good health. Your primary care provider can guide you on which screenings are recommended based on your age, family history, and lifestyle.
Our men’s health services include:
Primary Care
Urology
Digestive Health
Cardiology
Orthopedics
When your care requires the expertise of a specialist, Ellenville Regional Hospital is here to deliver. Our Specialty Care Services provide convenient access to:
Digital Diagnostic Imaging
Weight and Nutrition Support

Neurology
Your care is coordinated in one location, making it easier to stay on track with your health goals.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men after skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the U.S. About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
Screening discussions should begin:
At age 50 for average-risk men
At age 45 for men at high risk (including all Black men and those with a father or brother diagnosed before age 65)
At age 40 for men at highest risk (multiple first-degree relatives or BRCA gene mutation carriers)
Speak with your provider about whether PSA testing or other screening methods are right for you.
While less common, testicular cancer is the second most common cancer in men aged 20 to 39 (excluding skin cancer). Early detection offers an excellent chance for a cure.
Common signs include:
A painless lump or swelling in the testicle
A change in size or shape
Heaviness in the scrotum
Pain in the lower abdomen or back
Tenderness or enlargement of breast tissue (due to hormone changes)
If you notice any changes, don’t delay speaking with your provider.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States, claiming over 384,000 lives in 2021—about 1 in 4 male deaths. Heart disease is often “silent” until a major event occurs.
Watch for these signs:
Heart Attack: Chest pain, indigestion, upper body discomfort, nausea, fatigue, or shortness of breath
Arrhythmia: Fluttering sensations or irregular heartbeat
Heart Failure: Swelling, shortness of breath, or fatigue
Even if you’re symptom-free, you may still be at risk. Regular screenings and lifestyle changes can greatly reduce your chances of heart disease.

While mental health conditions are often underdiagnosed in men, they are just as real and treatable as physical illnesses. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health concerns can affect men at any stage of life.
Key points to remember:
Mental health challenges are not a sign of weakness
Treatment is effective and accessible
Asking for help can be the first step toward a healthier, more balanced life
If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or emotional distress, reach out to your provider or a mental health professional.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing or texting 988—available 24/7.
