"The men's health initiative is I think one of the most important things we have going on at our hospital. And one thing, that I think is very important, this is not an 'or' statement. You don't promote men's health at the expense of women's health, or children's health, or cancer. You don't sacrifice one for the sake of the others; It's an 'and' statement, we have to do to all of these." - Lowry Caudill
