This February, we honor the growing community of sepsis survivors, people whose strength didn’t end at survival and whose journeys continue every day.

During Sepsis Survivor Week (February 8–14, 2026), we’re uplifting survivor voices, raising awareness of the lasting physical, emotional, and mental impacts of sepsis, and advocating for better recognition, resources, and recovery support.

As we mark our 15th year of Sepsis Awareness Month, we recommit to ensuring survivors are seen, heard, and supported, because survival is only the beginning.

Join us all year long! Download the Ambassador Toolkit at SepsisAwarenessMonth.org.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—and regular screenings and HPV vaccination are key to early detection and risk reduction. But awareness also means understanding how treatment and recovery can impact pelvic health and quality of life.

Many people assume these symptoms are aspects of recovery they just have to endure— but improvement is possible with the right treatment plan and support.

This month, take action through prevention—and know help is available at every stage of care.
