ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - A community-driven initiative aimed at improving men’s health will take place this weekend in Albany.

Project Elevation: Men’s Health Event will bring together healthcare providers, community organizations and local partners to offer free services and resources focused on wellness, prevention and education. Organizers said the goal is to move beyond awareness and provide accessible care for men in the community.

Attendees will have access to free health screenings and prevention education provided by clinical staff and physicians with Phoebe Putney Health System. Local barbers will offer complimentary haircuts, and representatives from Morehouse School of Medicine will provide opportunities for research participation with incentives.

The event will include free food, games, raffles and prizes, along with vendors from local businesses. Organizers said the environment is designed to be welcoming and engaging for men of all ages, as well as their families and supporters.

Organizers said they hope the event will encourage men to take a more active role in their health while strengthening connections within the community.
