According to the American Lung Association, about 11.1 million U.S. adults live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), though many more may be undiagnosed. COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is most often caused by long-term exposure to smoke, fumes, dust, or chemicals—most commonly from cigarette smoke.

Chronic bronchitis causes airway inflammation and mucus buildup. Emphysema damages air sacs in the lungs, reducing oxygen flow. Symptoms include shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, fatigue, coughing with mucus, and frequent lung infections. While COPD is progressive, it is treatable with early care.

If you experience any symptoms, let your healthcare provider know.

Diabetes is often misunderstood and surrounded by misconceptions. It is not simply caused by eating too much sugar, nor is being overweight the only factor. Diabetes is a complex condition influenced by genetics, weight, activity level, age, and ethnicity.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks insulin-producing cells. Type 2 diabetes results from a combination of factors, and people of any weight can develop it.

Managing diabetes involves more than diet. Carbohydrates and sweets can be included in moderation with portion control. Regular exercise improves insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Management often includes lifestyle changes, medication, and monitoring. Insulin is essential for type 1 and sometimes needed for type 2 as insulin production declines.

If you have diabetes, always follow your healthcare provider’s advice.

Being a family caregiver is rewarding, but it often comes with physical and emotional challenges. Caregivers may feel isolated as they step back from social activities to care for loved ones. Friends and family might not understand the demands or may withdraw out of uncertainty. Still, support doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, thoughtful gestures can make a meaningful difference.

• Offer to run errands or pick up groceries
• Bring over a meal or set up a meal train
• Help with chores like laundry, dishes, or yard work
• Stay with their loved one so they can take a break
• Assist with organizing medical or legal documents
• Share helpful tech tools for caregiving
• Check in regularly and listen without judgment
• Encourage caregivers to care for their own health

Flu season usually starts in October and peaks between December and February. It’s spread mainly through respiratory droplets when we talk, cough, or sneeze. To protect yourself and others, be sure to get a flu shot. Wash your hands often and cover your coughs and sneezes. If you do feel sick, stay home and away from others. A few simple steps can keep you and others safter this season.
