October is National Liver Awareness Month! 💚

Autoimmune Hepatitis is one of the chronic diseases associated with the inflammation of the liver. It’s when one’s immune system attacks a healthy liver and causes liver damage/inflammation.

Educating yourself about chronic diseases is extremely important in the world we live in today. Make sure to especially share resources about liver related conditions with those around you this month!

September marks Sickle Cell Disease Awareness Month! Let's run down what this is and how it can affect your body. Sickle cell disease alters the shape of red blood cells that can lead to blood flow slowing, or even stopping, which can have disastrous consequences on the body. If you or someone you know has sickle cell disease, do your best to educate yourself and others to spread awareness for this blood disorder!
