Anaheim, Calif. — On Sunday, July 27, 2025, Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim hosted a community-centered event promoting men’s health and wellness. Organized by local advocate Georgette Glass, Man 2 Man Health & Wellness Day brought together men of all ages for a half-day of educational workshops, physical activities, and free health screenings focused on preventive care.
Running from morning until early afternoon, the event featured sessions on mental health, nutrition, stress management, and medication checkups. Attendees also had access to free screenings for blood pressure, glucose levels, and general physical assessments, encouraging participants to take proactive steps toward maintaining their health.
A 3K and 5K walk/run kicked off the day, setting an active tone that continued with group fitness demonstrations and light endurance activities. The scenic setting of Yorba Regional Park—with its open spaces, trails, and lake views—provided an ideal environment for the day’s focus on physical and mental well-being.
Georgette Glass explained that the event aimed to motivate men to prioritize their health through simple, actionable steps. Attendees responded positively, with many stating they felt encouraged to adopt healthier habits, schedule routine screenings, and implement stress-reduction techniques in their daily lives.
Mental health was a significant focus throughout the program. Experts led discussions on recognizing signs of anxiety and depression, provided resources for local counseling, and encouraged open conversations among participants. Nutrition specialists offered advice on meal planning and maintaining balanced diets, while fitness coaches guided breathing exercises and basic routines adaptable for all fitness levels.
A key feature of the day was the on-site medication review station, where healthcare volunteers helped attendees assess their current prescriptions and ensure proper use. This service was especially valuable for older participants managing multiple medications.
Local health organizations and wellness nonprofits set up informational booths offering literature, support resources, and opportunities for follow-up care. These additions reinforced the event’s mission of building a bridge between education and long-term health engagement.
Participants described the atmosphere as welcoming and inclusive, with activities suitable for a wide range of physical abilities and age groups. The hands-on, personalized approach helped attendees leave not just with information, but with a clearer sense of how to apply what they learned in their own lives.
As the event concluded, organizers shared plans to make Man 2 Man Health & Wellness Day an annual occurrence in Anaheim. Future editions may include expanded programming and outreach to family members to promote a holistic approach to community health.
With a growing national focus on addressing men’s health disparities and encouraging preventive care, events like this play an important role in closing gaps and fostering lifelong wellness habits. Man 2 Man Health & Wellness Day proved that with the right setting and support, communities can effectively inspire men to take control of their well-being.
