A man\u2019s mustache can have all types of meaning. It could be a way of standing out from the crowd, a furry fashion statement, or a form of masculine expression. But in November, the mustache takes on a deeper meaning.<\/p>\n

The Movember movement calls on men from around the globe to grow mustaches in an effort to raise awareness and funds for men\u2019s health issues. Men start the month off with a clean mug, and as their mustache grows they ask friends and family to donate to their efforts.<\/p>\n

Power Your Practice elected to take part in the campaign, and we have the mustaches to prove it. If you\u2019d like to donate toward our campaign and help put an end to men\u2019s health issues, please visit our team Movember page.<\/p>\n

Statistics show that men die at a significantly younger age than women although there isn\u2019t a clear biological reason. Luckily, health IT solutions can play a role<\/a> in helping increase men\u2019s life expectancy.<\/p>\n

Since the passage of the HITECH Act in2009, so many health IT vendors have emerged that choosing the right one for your technology needs has become increasingly difficult. These three vendor characteristics<\/a> can make the decision easier.<\/p>\n
