Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's HealthOn 2 October 2007 it was announced that the Freemasons Foundation has committed approximately $1.5 million over five years to establish the  Freemasons Foundation Centre for Men's Health  within the School of Medicine at the University of Adelaide.   The funding includes establishment of two Freemasons Foundation Research Fellows positions. 

"The Centre is the first of its kind in Australia and one of only a handful of centres in the world with a focus on all aspects of men's health. It aims to:
  • raise the public profile of men's health issues;
  • develop effective strategies for promoting positive health and wellbeing among men and boys;
  • develop effective treatments for health conditions and diseases affecting men; and
  • to build a critical mass of researchers and practitioners with interests in various aspects of men's health.
Sir Eric Neal, former Governor of South Australia, is the principal patron of the new centre. The Director of the Centre is Professor Villis Marshall, an internationally recognised consultant in urology, educator and researcher."
From a news release issued 2 October 2007 by the University of Adelaide.
