Did you know? An estimated 1.3 billion people experience significant disability. This represents 16% of the world’s population, or 1 in 6 of us.

Today and every day, we champion the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of social, economic, cultural and political life so that—together—we can build a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all of us ✨

The world has made great progress in HIV treatment, and science has made it possible for people with HIV to live healthy lives. We have the medicines, tools, and resolve to end AIDS.

But AIDS is not over.

Globally, 31.6M people received lifesaving antiretroviral therapy in 2024. But in 2025, sudden funding cuts disrupted services for millions, placing that progress at risk.

On this World AIDS Day, let's recommit to continuing progress and remember that shared responsibility and global solidarity have been at the core of historic reductions in new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths.

A holiday weekend that represents celebration on one hand can result in anxiety and a desire to escape on the other.

If you or someone you know escapes with drug use, this is for you. Naloxone (aka Narcan) can rapidly reverse an overdose from opioids—including he**in, fentanyl, and prescription opioid meds. So this holiday, keep it handy.

☝ Carrying naloxone is no different than carrying an EpiPen for someone with allergies—it provides lifesaving protection. For more, visit https://www.capecountyhealth.com/newsDetail.php?Save-A-Life-With-Naloxone-45

Did you know that Thanksgiving is the perfect time to share your family health history?

It's no surprise, then, that today is National Family Health History Day! 👪

As you gather together to eat, drink, and be grateful, don't forget that knowing about your family's health history and sharing it with your doctor is an invaluable part of protecting your health because diseases and health conditions can be passed down.

Information is power. And so is empathy. Talking about health can be a sensitive subject, so it's important to lead with compassion and patience. For more tips, visit: https://www.capecountyhealth.com/newsDetail.php?Family-Health-History-41
