Doctors Drive Coast-to-Coast to Raise Awareness for Men's Health Issues

Caption

Jamin Brahmbhatt, M.D., and Sijo Parekattil, M.D., are driving from Florida to New York to California to urge men to make their health a priority. A new national survey by Orlando Health found that more than 80 percent of men could remember the make and model of their first car, but only about half could remember their last check up with a doctor. Hoping to change that, Brahmbhatt and Parekattil created the Drive for Men's Health, a cross-country trip in nine days in an all-electric Tesla, to raise awareness of men`s health issues.
