💙 November is National Family Caregivers Month 💙

Behind every strong family, there’s often a caregiver — someone quietly holding things together with love, patience, and strength. ❤️

Family caregivers are spouses, children, parents, friends, and neighbors who step in to help a loved one with daily tasks, medical care, or simply by being there to listen. They manage medications, attend appointments, cook meals, and offer comfort — often while balancing their own jobs, families, and responsibilities.

This month, we recognize and thank all caregivers for the compassion, sacrifice, and endless dedication you show every single day. 💐

If you know a caregiver, take a moment to reach out — offer a hand, a meal, or even just a heartfelt “thank you.” Sometimes, a little support makes all the difference. 💞

Your health is worth it — every step counts toward prevention!

🚭 The Hidden Dangers of Va**ng

Va**ng has become increasingly popular among teens and young adults — but it’s far from harmless. Many v**e products contain high levels of ni****ne, which can harm developing brains, memory, and concentration.

V**e aerosol can also include formaldehyde, heavy metals, and other toxic chemicals that damage the lungs and heart. The truth is, va**ng can lead to addiction and long-term health problems.

Talk to your kids. Share the facts. Together, we can protect their health and future. 💙
