Dear Dulles Triangles Members and Friends,
July is International Health Awareness Month
It's never a bad time to raise awareness about health-related issues, and July specifically serves as a national awareness month for HIV, COVID-19, hemochromatosis screening, and herbal-prescription interactions—as well as International Group B Strep Throat Awareness Month. This month’s eMinders will focus on health-related topics to help raise awareness among our community. One of the most effective tools in our arsenal for positive health outcomes is the power of human connection. That’s why health awareness months, weeks, and days are so important: they bring us together to spread awareness of health concerns and show support for those struggling with them. Educational and fundraising events are often held at these times to create a ripple effect of positivity and empowerment for not only those living with health conditions, but their loved ones, too. Sure, you’ve heard about the bigger awareness campaigns like Breast Cancer Awareness Month and World AIDS Day. But what about lesser-known ones, such as National Family Health History Day, Give Kids a Smile Day, or World Hand Hygiene Day? Keep track of the events you’re passionate about—and discover some new ones, too—with these calendars and lists of health awareness events.
