Did you know Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease that makes babies' tummies very sick? It can happen to little babies, and even some babies that haven't been born yet. Doctors and scientists are learning new ways to protect babies from NEC. Let's support these little ones! We invite you to share how NEC has impacted your life and support the NEC Society by recognizing NEC Awareness Month. You can join the movement at https://necsociety.org/

Check out why BreastScreen Aotearoa’s clinical lead, Dr Adam Stewart, believes early detection and raising the age for free mammograms to 74 are so important. We agree! So please get your mammograms when eligible, get to know the normal look and feel of your breasts, and head to the doctor if you notice any changes. We will let you know what is happening with the age extension when we know more. https://ow.ly/HxTn50RoHyl

Over the past several months, we have worked to create a trademark that encapsulates who we are, what our mission is, and whom we serve. Through these efforts, one phrase consistently rose to the top; one that embodied Karoo Health succinctly and simply. We are “America’s Cardiac Solution”. We wanted our trademark to be aspirational. As Americans, we are almost all affected, and will continue to be affected, by cardiac disease at an alarming rate, whether directly, or through loved ones. True to our mission, we will serve you, the American people, affected by this terrible ailment. Through our unique model of care, ground breaking technology, proven clinical results, and innovative partnerships we will deliver a cardiac solution that meets you where you are. When you seek cardiovascular care, whether for yourself or your loved ones, think of Karoo Health, “America’s Cardiac Solution”.

National Down Syndrome Awareness Month is an intentional time to celebrate individuals with Down syndrome and leverage your spheres of influence to spread awareness. Shauna Amick, M.Ed., our Director of Direct Response and Radio Marketing, is doing just that! Her daughter Sarah has Down syndrome and recently Shauna shared helpful insights on how to include individuals with Down syndrome in our communities. 🌟 Be a Voice: Share messages about National Down Syndrome Awareness Month on your social media. Ensure that individuals with Down syndrome are included in your churches, clubs, and social groups. 🤝 Be a Friend: Reach out to children and adults with Down syndrome in your neighborhood, at the store, or in your church. 🌼 Be an Example: As the seasons change, be intentional about advocating for the full inclusion of all individuals. Consider volunteering as a buddy with a local school or organization. These simple actions can uplift those with Down syndrome and their families, making a positive impact not just in October, but throughout the entire year.

Today is the day!   A day 100 years in the making. A day filled with everything we have put into it: hard work, sweat, tears, determination, passion and heart. It is a day of joy. A day to celebrate science and research, volunteers and survivors. A day to celebrate all people everywhere whose lives we improve. A day to celebrate every member of the American Heart Association family.    Today marks 100 years since the founding of the American Heart Association on June 10, 1924.   CPR. Pacemakers. Heart transplants. Stents. Clot-busting drugs. Congenital heart defect repairs. Treatment. Prevention. Guidelines. Precision Medicine. Our organization has made all of them possible, and in doing so, we’ve cut cardiovascular mortality in half. Our Second Century will be a time of incredible breakthroughs, many unimaginable today, guided by our vision of “advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere.”   And we can’t wait to see where we’ll go and who we’ll be, 100 years from now.
