Did you know that according to the American Red Cross, winter is “one of the most difficult times of year to collect enough blood products to meet patient needs.”

Or that "Glaucoma is called "the sneak thief of sight" since there are no symptoms and once vision is lost, it's permanent. As much as 40% of vision can be lost without a person noticing." Glaucoma.org

"The thyroid is a small gland responsible for producing hormones that play a crucial role in many of the body’s systems — from cells and tissues, to organs like the heart, brain, liver, and kidneys. Dysfunction occurs when the thyroid produces either too much or too little thyroid hormone. Either can disrupt healthy functioning of vital organs — leading to a wide range of symptoms. The good news? Once diagnosed and treated, it’s entirely possible to live a normal, healthy life." https://nationaltoday.com/thyroid-awareness-month/ Clicking on this link provides information and tells you how to check your thyroid health.
