National Depression Awareness Month observance works to bring awareness to the need for depression awareness and the need for accessible and affordable mental health screenings. A number of different factors can often come into play with depression that can include a mix of environmental, genetic, psychological, and biological /biochemical components. Not everyone experiences depression in the same way, but it can affect anyone at any time. So, it is important to take that next step and seek out professional help and be screened if you or someone you care about feels they may be depressed. Depression is a highly treatable condition with many different options available, but a professional should be sought out to help determine the best course of action for every individual that is suffering from it.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.

This month, VHSO celebrates the experts who help Veterans and others hear life to the fullest — our audiologists! Hearing loss can impact every part of daily life — from conversations with loved ones to the sounds that connect us to the world. Audiologists are the professionals who help identify, treat and manage hearing disorders, giving Veterans the support and care they need to stay connected.

Your hearing matters. Let’s make noise about hearing health!

Orthopedic nurses play an important role in recovery from musculoskeletal diseases and traumas. They provide patients with professional and competent care in hospitals, clinics, private homes, nursing homes and physical offices. They are responsible for different procedures, including removing stitches, installation of orthoses, installation, and removal of splints etc. We are thrilled to honor the expertise and efforts of orthopedic nurses who have dedicated their careers to aiding recovering patients.

During Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month (MUAM), VASNHS recognizes the vital role of our sonographers. An Echo Tech is a cardiac sonographer who uses ultrasound technology to create images of the heart, which is known as an echocardiogram. These professionals play a critical role in diagnosing and monitoring a variety of heart conditions by examining the heart's chambers, valves, and blood flow. The theme for MUAM 2025 is "Waves for Days," which celebrates both the scientific aspect of sound waves and the sonographers who use them.

As we recognize October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, VASNHS Primary Care, Physical Therapy, and Cancer Rehab Services hosted a Men’s awareness table on Friday, October 24, 2025 in the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center. Men can get breast cancer as well, where 1 in 100 are diagnosed. Knowing your family health history and discussing with your Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) service-connected exposures can improve early detection. Men over the age of 60, especially those with a family history of breast cancer and positive gene mutation BRCA, BRA2, PTEN or CHEK2, Kleinfelders syndrome, radiation to the chest, hormonal therapy, obesity and increased alcohol intake are at higher risk factors. Some of the things men can do to recognize the symptoms:
*Lump or swelling of the breast
*Red, flaky skin
*Irritation or dimpling of the breast skin
*Ni**le pain or discharge
