The Riley Industrial
Men’s Health Fund
The Riley Industrial Men’s Health Fund was established in 2004 by Riley Industrial Services, Inc. to assist men of San Juan County in receiving needed medical care and prescriptions. After assessing community needs, Riley Industrial chose men’s health as the focus of their fund.
The Riley men
“Men’s health is not only a concern for men, but it is also a concern for women who care about the health of their fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. Additionally, men’s health is an issue for employers who lose productive employees and pay the costs of their medical care, as well as for society, which absorbs the enormous costs of premature death and disability.
