Hello Volunteer Ambassadors, It's hard to believe October will arrive tomorrow! We can finally look forward to cooler weather, Halloween and the 36th annual BeMedWise Talk About Your Medicines Month. This year's theme is Understanding Medicine Labels - Making sense of your meds. The goal is to educate patients about the importance of OTC and prescription medicine labels and empower them to be well-informed healthcare consumers. As with all of our initiatives, we can use your help:

Visit, share and download information from our Talk About Your Medicines Month page. This is a one-stop destination for everything users need to know about medicine labels.

Register for the October 4th webinar all about how understanding labels helps maximize the benefits and minimize the risks of meds. Encourage others to join us as well.

If you're active on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, use our Social Media Toolkit to promote Talk About Your Medicines Month. You can make a positive impact with just a few clicks.

Thanks so much and please keep us posted with your efforts Enjoy the season, Carla Dellaporta Director of User Engagement carla@needymeds.org; 978.281.6666
