This month is Movember, a time to raise awareness for men’s health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. Many men grow mustaches during the month of November to spark conversations about men's health and to show their support, turning facial hair into a powerful symbol of awareness and action. Our staff joined in by posing with mustaches on a stick to help spread the message—because every effort matters when it comes to promoting better health outcomes for our communities. . . . . . #FSCCT #LoveMadeVisible #NewBritainCT #CentralCT #Connecticut #RaiseAwareness #Movember #MensHealthAwarenessMonth
