🧪 Why Research & Support Matter
Sarcoma and bone cancers may be rare — but they deserve research, funding, and visibility.

🔬 Because of their rarity, sarcomas receive less research funding than more common cancers. But innovation in treatment depends on awareness and advocacy.

At NSHA, we support efforts to:
✔️ Offer compassionate, team-based cancer care
✔️ Support patients and families through every step

🎗️ This month, let’s advocate for more — more awareness, more options, more hope.

🕊️ World Day Against Trafficking in Persons – July 30
Human trafficking is a global crisis — affecting over 27 million people worldwide, including children, adults, and vulnerable individuals in every community.

🚨 Did you know?
• Trafficking happens in all 50 U.S. states
• Victims often seek care in healthcare settings without being identified
• Trauma-informed medical providers can play a key role in early intervention

At NSHA, we’re committed to compassionate, informed care and community awareness. Knowing the signs can save lives.

📞 If you suspect trafficking, contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “BEFREE” to 233733.

🩺 Week 4: Early Detection of Skin Cancer
UV Safety Month isn't just about prevention — it's also about early detection.

🔍 Check your skin regularly for signs of damage or suspicious spots using the ABCDE rule:

Asymmetry

Border irregularity

Color changes

Diameter larger than a pencil eraser

Evolving shape, size, or color

📞 If you notice something unusual, don’t wait — contact your healthcare provider.

Early detection saves lives. NSHA encourages regular skin checks and routine conversations with your doctor about skin health.

🧴 Sun Protection Isn’t Just for Skin — It Helps Bones Too
☀️ Here’s a fun fact: Vitamin D from sunlight helps your body absorb calcium and support strong bones. But too much sun without protection can lead to burns and dehydration — both of which weaken joint health over time.

🏥 Orthopedic Tip:
Get your vitamin D the safe way: 10–15 minutes of morning sun, then cover up or use sunscreen. Balance is key!

🦴 Know the Signs — Early Detection Saves Lives
Sarcomas can be sneaky. Because they often start deep in tissue or bone, symptoms may go unnoticed or be mistaken for sports injuries or joint pain.

🔍 Be aware of the signs:
• A lump or swelling that’s growing or painful
• Bone pain (especially at night)
• Limited mobility or sudden fractures
• Fatigue or unexplained weight loss

🩺 If something doesn’t feel right, talk to your doctor. Being proactive with your health matters.

Let’s raise awareness so others don’t miss the signs.

🌍 World Hepatitis Day – July 28
🩺 Hepatitis can’t wait.

Every year on July 28, NSHA recognizes World Hepatitis Day — a global call to raise awareness of viral hepatitis and the urgent need for testing, vaccination, and treatment.

🧪 Hepatitis B and C can cause serious liver damage, but many people don’t even know they’re infected.
🕒 Early detection saves lives — and screening is simple and often free.

📢 This year’s theme: "Hepatitis Can’t Wait" — because every moment counts when it comes to preventing liver disease and saving lives.

Talk to your healthcare provider about hepatitis screening and vaccines. NSHA is here to support your preventive care every step of the way.

💡 Mental Health Monday – Week 4: You’re Allowed to Redefine Success
Burnout often starts with unrealistic expectations.
🔁 When we measure success only by productivity, we ignore the importance of rest, healing, and boundaries.

Redefine success this week:
• A good day might mean you rested when you needed to
• You made space for joy, not just tasks
• You chose calm over chaos

✨ Progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like peace.

📅 July 27 is National HIV Testing Day
Knowing your status is powerful — and getting tested is the first step toward prevention, care, and a healthier future.

At NSHA, we join healthcare organizations across the country in encouraging everyone to make HIV testing a routine part of their wellness.

🧪 Why it matters:

1 in 8 people living with HIV in the U.S. don’t know they have it.

Early diagnosis leads to better treatment options and longer, healthier lives.

Testing is quick, confidential, and often free.

❤️ Whether you're getting tested for the first time or regularly as part of your care — you’re taking charge of your health and helping protect your community.

📲 Contact your local NSHA organization to learn more about testing availability and resources in your area.

Let’s break the stigma and spread awareness — together.

🍳 Simple Food Swaps for Better Nutrition
Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire diet — sometimes, it’s the little swaps that make the biggest impact.

🥗 Try this:
➡️ Swap soda for sparkling water
➡️ Choose whole grain bread instead of white
➡️ Bake or grill instead of frying
➡️ Add greens to your smoothie or pasta sauce

🌟 Nutrition is about progress, not perfection.

Today, on National Schizophrenia Awareness Day, NSHA joins the national effort to increase understanding and compassion around schizophrenia — a complex mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and interacts with the world.

💬 Schizophrenia is often misunderstood, but early intervention and comprehensive care can make a real difference in the lives of those living with it.

At NSHA, we’re proud to offer supportive, evidence-based services through our dedicated mental health providers:

🏥 Claxton-Hepburn Medical Campus
• Adult Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit – 24/7 care in a safe, structured environment

🏖️ Protect Your Joints on Summer Adventures
Whether you're hiking, kayaking, or working in the garden — summer is full of movement. But overuse injuries like tendonitis or sprains can sneak up fast.

🦵 Orthopedic Tip:
Pace yourself and warm up before any activity, even casual ones. Use proper footwear and stretch your major joints — ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders.

🎯 Prevention now = fewer aches later!
