Village Hall is now accepting sharps from community members who need a safe and proper method for disposal. Sharps, which include items like syringes, lancets, Epi pens and infusion sets, should not be thrown in the trash like other garbage. Residents are welcome to bring properly contained sharps into Village Hall during regular business hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday, and Welcome Center staff will have a trained staff member assist in the disposal. Sharps brought into Village Hall for disposal must be placed inside a rigid hard plastic container that is thick-walled, leak-resistant and durable, such as a laundry detergent bottle. Community members can also pick up a free personal medical grade sharps container at Village Hall. For more information about this program, visit www.oak-park.us/sharps or contact the Public Health Department at 708.358.5480 or health@oak-park.us.

Loving this article from in Psychiatric News!

MCAS patients and informed providers know medicating, and even supplementing, with MCAS requires care and caution. Too many people are labeled as “difficult” or “hypochondriacs” when in reality their physiology behaves differently.

Acknowledging this and adjusting protocol and mindset is key to comprehensive, compassionate care.

Comment MEDS and I’ll dm you a link to the article.

The big-box warehouse chain is partnering with Sesame and IVI RMA to offer self-pay patients expanded access and more affordable care. For the one in six Americans dealing with infertility, this could be a total game changer.

March is Lymphedema Awareness Month 💙🌍
It’s a time to raise awareness, share facts, and stand together for the millions affected worldwide.

L – Lifelong condition that currently has no cure, but can be managed with proper care.
Y – Your lymphatic system plays a critical role in immune function and fluid balance.
M – Millions of people live with lymphedema, yet awareness remains far too low.
P – Progressive if untreated, which makes early diagnosis and intervention essential.
H – Happens when lymph fluid accumulates due to damage, removal, or malformation of lymph vessels.
E – Exists in both primary (genetic) and secondary forms (caused by surgery, cancer treatment, trauma, or infection).
D – Daily management may include compression, exercise, skin care, and specialized therapy.
E – Education is urgently needed among healthcare providers and the public.
M – Misunderstood and often misdiagnosed, leading to delays in proper treatment.
A – Advocacy is critical to improving outcomes and advancing research.

An estimated 250 million people worldwide and 10 million Americans are living with lymphedema. We are raising our voices to advocate for education initiatives, better healthcare access, greater medical awareness, and ultimately a cure for this complex and life-altering disease.
