Today is a bittersweet post as staff celebrated Service Coordinator Cecilia Palomino’s retirement (far right in the blue). Cecilia joined Project Access 10/12/2016 and we will bid her farewell on 12/31/2025. Cecilia has made a direct impact on countless patients navigating their enrollments, their extensions, and coordinating their care. Cecilia’s adorable personality, her infectious smile, and her sweet laugh will be missed but we are so excited for the next stage of her life. Cecilia, thank you for giving your heart to the program! All the best to YOU!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is more common than many realize, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. As the days get shorter, some of us feel our energy dip, our mood shift, or our motivation fade. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.🌨️

Here are a few evidence‑informed ways to support your well‑being during the darker months:
• Spend time in natural light when possible
• Keep a consistent sleep routine
• Stay connected with friends, family, or your community
• Move your body in ways that feel good
• Try grounding practices like journaling or mindfulness
• Talk with a healthcare professional if symptoms feel heavy or persistent

Your feelings are valid. Your experience matters. And reaching out for support is a sign of strength.

A heartfelt thank you to Walmart and Walmart Neighborhood Market Wichita – N Amidon (Walmart Neighborhood Market Wichita - N Amidon Ave) for your generous support and continued partnership.

Knowledge is power. Action is impact.

Did you know that over 38 million Americans live with diabetes, and 90–95% of them have Type 2? Even more staggering, 97 million adults have prediabetes, and most don’t know it.

This month, we’re raising awareness, promoting prevention, and supporting those impacted. Explore resources, toolkits, and ways to take action at www.diabetes.org/adm

Feel Good Friday 💜

At 22, Erika was diagnosed with Lupus and enrolled in Project Access, where a donating rheumatologist helped her manage her chronic condition. Today, she is 35, working full-time and covered by her own health insurance.

Six years ago, Erika was hired at the very pharmacy she once visited as a patient. The owner remembered her and offered her a job. Erika’s journey is filled with resilience and gratitude, and she credits Project Access for helping her reach this milestone.
