Alzheimer’s Awareness Month – November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, a time to heighten awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and show support for the more than 6.2 million Americans living with it. On November 3rd, more than 800 structures around the world will “go teal” to raise awareness and show support people affected by Alzheimer’s. If you have access to an office building, campus, or even your house, you can be a part of “lighting the world in teal”. In addition, you can wear teal and update your social media cover photo to help raise awareness!
Diabetes Awareness Month - National Diabetes Month occurs every November, with World Diabetes Day on November 14th. November has been designated for diabetes awareness since 1975, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA). But it wasn’t officially recognized until the early 1980s. For more than 40 years now, November has served as a time where organizations, people with diabetes, caregivers, loved ones, and other advocates rally to shine a much-needed spotlight on diabetes. This helps drive research and potentially even saves lives.
