A note about Sjögren’s Syndrome Awareness Month from the CEO of the Sjögren’s Syndrome Foundation:

April is Sjögren’s Syndrome Awareness Month and each year the Foundation chooses a theme and focus for our national awareness campaign. This year, our theme is Research – Our Hope for the Future.
The awareness campaign is simple: we are asking each member of the Foundation to consider mailing informational letters we provide you to six of your friends and/or family members. By doing this, you will be helping to increase knowledge about Sjögren’s syndrome, as well as helping the Foundation to make Sjögren’s syndrome a household name. READ MORE...

Health Awareness in January

American Diabetes Month is here

The time is now to raise awareness of this ever-growing disease and to shine a light on all those affected. This year for American Diabetes Month®, the American Diabetes Association wants you to share a personal image representing what “A Day in the Life of Diabetes” means to you. The Association knows diabetes impacts everyone in a different way. It is time for you to add your own chapter to the story. Visit the Association Facebook page to upload your image. Every photo will contribute to a larger mosaic that embodies the message, “A Day in the Life of Diabetes.” For every photo/image uploaded, CVS/pharmacy® will donate $1 to the Association, up to $25,000. American Diabetes Month is sponsored by CVS/pharmacy’s ExtraCare Advantage® for Diabetes savings program exclusively for those living with diabetes and their caregivers. Help spread the word so people will finally understand what it means to live “A Day in the Life of Diabetes.”
