Men’s Health Tours

Get Checked. Know Your Numbers. Start with One Step.

Since 2019, Blue Cure’s Men’s Health Tours have met men where they are — both in person and through virtual education and media — in cities, neighborhoods, and communities across Texas and beyond, to spark life-saving conversations about prevention, early detection, and lifestyle-driven health.

What began as a national awareness journey across 40+ U.S. cities has evolved into a multi-layered approach: annual in-person Texas tours combined with year-round virtual education reaching men nationwide. While Texas remains a primary focus, Blue Cure continues to engage men everywhere through digital content, media, and partnerships — with plans to expand future in-person awareness tours in other regions of the country.

Here’s why this work matters more than ever:

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Texas men

Black men face the highest risk for prostate cancer and are twice as likely to die from it

Hispanic men are more likely to be diagnosed at a later, higher-risk stage and are less likely to receive treatment

Heart disease is the #1 killer of men in Texas

3 in 4 adult men in Texas are overweight or obese

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide affordable or free checkups

Texas ranks 41st in physical activity — 1 in 4 adults (27.8%) report no exercise outside of work

Males make up nearly 80% of suicides in Texas

Texas Cities + Local Resources

Find support where you live. Help is closer than you think.

These city and county resources can help connect you to free or low-cost checkups, screenings, and preventive care — even if you don’t have health insurance.

If you’re uninsured or underinsured, don’t hesitate to contact your local city or county health department and ask what services are available, including men’s health screenings. You can also ask about Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which provide medical care on a sliding fee scale based on income — no insurance required.

In addition, some medical practices may offer self-pay or discounted rates for patients without insurance. It never hurts to ask what options may be available.

Whether you’re taking the first step for yourself or helping someone you love, these resources are here to help you get checked, get informed, and take action.

2022-2025 Texas Tours

Continuing the Mission of Education, Prevention, and Early Detection

Since 2022, Blue Cure has reached communities across Texas — from Houston to El Paso, Dallas to the Rio Grande Valley — raising awareness and empowering men with life-saving knowledge and resources.

Our goal: Help every man understand his risk for prostate cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other preventable health issues. We encourage early checkups, healthy lifestyle changes, open conversations, and knowing your health numbers.

Now in its fifth year, the Blue Cure Men’s Health Tour continues to:

  • Raise awareness about men’s health risks and screening options
  • Encourage preventive action through local FQHCs offering free or low-cost screenings
  • Highlight the need to reach underserved communities — including Hispanic and Black men who often face higher risk and later diagnoses
  • Inspire change through local TV interviews, PSAs, and community conversations that chip away at stigma and normalize taking charge of one’s health

Together — with healthcare providers, media, and everyday community champions — we’re building a movement for prevention across Texas.

If you’re reading this, be the nudge. Encourage the men in your life — your father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, or friend — to schedule that checkup. That one step could save a life.

Honoring Mayor Sylvester Turner

We are deeply grateful to the late Mayor Sylvester Turner for his unwavering support of Blue Cure and our mission to raise awareness for men’s health. Throughout his tenure, Mayor Turner championed our cause — attending Blue Cure events, issuing city proclamations, and recording public service announcements encouraging men to get checked, know their numbers, and start with one step.

He also courageously shared his personal health journey, helping to break down stigma and inspire action across communities.

Thank you, Mayor Turner, for your leadership, partnership, and voice.
May you rest in peace.

Texas Tours 2022–Present: Local Impact, Lasting Change

Since 2022, the Blue Cure Men’s Health Tour has continued its mission across Texas, using both in-person stops and a strong digital presence to encourage men to get checked, know their health numbers, and adopt sustainable lifestyle changes.

Each tour stop is supported by educational content, expert interviews, and local resource guides — both online and on the ground. While some in-person visits include outreach in Spanish, the tour also delivers bilingual messaging through social media, helping extend its reach to underserved communities throughout Texas.
