National COPD Awareness Month
Every year, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) uses the month of November to recognize COPD, a long-term lung disease that affects millions of Americans. Get involved by sharing these NHLBI resources on your platforms to bring greater attention to this disease. You can also share our MyHealthfinder resources to encourage people to quit smoking and lower their risk of developing COPD. Lastly, use Healthy People 2030 to track national progress towards objectives to improve respiratory health.
U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (11/18 – 11/24)
From November 18 to 24, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) celebrates U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week – an annual observance that raises awareness of the threat of antibiotic resistance and the importance of appropriate antibiotic use. Use CDC’s Be Antibiotics Aware Partner Toolkit to spread the word about the importance of appropriate antibiotic use. Check out our video-simulation training program, Partnering to Heal, to learn about best practices on infection control for healthcare professionals.
American Diabetes Month
The American Diabetes Association promotes American Diabetes Month in November to raise awareness about diabetes. Check out and share these resources from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Diabetes Prevention Program, that works to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. It’s also a great time to explore the Healthy People 2030 Diabetes objectives, which aim to reduce the burden of diabetes and improve the lives of people who are living with or at risk for the condition. Finally, be sure to share our consumer friendly MyHealthfinder diabetes resources.
