From Professional Caregivers to Independent Caregivers, Family Caregivers and Informal Caregivers of all kinds; this Friday is Caregivers Day Awareness Day, a day to celebrate those of us who look after others!

This list is not just limited to the health sector, it honors all those who provide personal care, and physical- and emotional support to those who need it most. It is essential to appreciate caregivers, some of them are not always paid, for their long-term commitment. Make sure you support and thank the caregivers in your circle!

Perseverance looks like care in action.
It looks like checking on your strong friends.
It looks like supporting Black-owned businesses.
It looks like choosing facts over fear.

Let’s put our love into the world, even when it’s challenged. 💛

Pre-Pregnancy Preparation Matters
Every journey has a beginning, middle and an end. The journey to giving life begins before conception, with the health of both the mother and father. Pre-pregnancy Awareness Month highlights the importance how early care, nutrition, and monitoring can help reduce risks during pregnancy and childbirth. In the face of the ongoing maternal mortality crisis, proactive preconception care is a vital step toward safer pregnancies and healthier outcomes.
