The Legacy of Fatherhood

May 30, 2023 08:32PM ● By Joe Dunne

June is our “Men’s Month Issue. Naturally, it falls in the month of Father’s Day—beyond a doubt my favorite holiday of the year. I have been a father for over 53 years and to this day the experience of fathering continues to challenge and reward me with dividends way beyond the material world. 

Nothing in the world moves me more than a dedicated dad. When I look at fathers today, the younger generation especially, it makes me proud to know fatherhood has evolved, that men have come so far and we are now able to reap the rewards of the involved father.  

It seems to me that parenting, my contribution as a father, is the most important legacy of my life. I am extremely proud that our contributions as men to our children, to our families and to our legacy has evolved. 


Fathers—be proud. Happy Father’s day and keep growing.

5 Top Tips to Finding Your Next Doctor

1 Keep an Open Mind! Healthcare has come a long way. Today, you have access to practitioners that branch outside of traditional medicine and aim to identify the root causes of conditions while using alternative treatments that may help you get the relief you need. Just because it’s not a pill, doesn’t make it pseudoscience.

2 Build Your Health Care Team. There is no one doctor that can be the be-all-end-all for your health needs. Be sure to have a team of practitioners with different “lenses” and areas of expertise who will treat the root cause and not just the symptom(s).

3   Environment Influences Healing. Health is multi-factorial. Your mental and emotional environment plays a pivotal role in your healing potential. Your doctors and their staff should create an office atmosphere filled with positivity so you can get the most out of your care.

4 Your Story Matters.  Before you begin any treatment, be sure to have a comprehensive consultation to discuss your health concerns. Find practitioners who welcome questions and will take the time to listen and treat you with respect.

5 Report of Findings. When it comes to our health, we often make decisions without understanding the risk versus benefits. Knowledge is an important part of the healing process and is essential to make conscious, informed health decisions. Find practitioners who take the time to explain their exam findings and the recommendations for treatment in ways that make sense to you.
