Care providers have started offering men healthcare options in outpatient settings


Care providers have started offering men healthcare options in outpatient settings, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

These male-centric facilities are often located in urban settings and they’re a far cry from the typical doctor’s office, the article said.
