Sharon Roy, lecturer of marketing, talks about Aaron Rodger’s declining sponsorships after his comments about his vaccination status became public. Prevea Health recently dropped Rodgers, and Roy says it would make sense for State Farm to move on given their line of business.

Employer-sponsored activity: preventive care for men
Staying healthy is important, and one way to do that is getting preventive care. Screening tests help find diseases early — before you have symptoms. This is when diseases are easier to treat. The screening tests needed depend on age, family history, your own health history and other risk factors. We are focusing on men’s health this month. Use the guidelines below to have a conversation with your health care provider or a loved one, to make sure you or a loved one is up to date with the screenings they need.
