World Osteoporosis Day is today October 20!

This year’s theme, “Build, Protect, Strengthen Your Bones,” highlights the importance of preventing osteoporosis before a life-changing fracture occurs. Osteoporosis affects more than 200 million people worldwide, yet many at-risk individuals remain undiagnosed and untreated.

Protect your bone health by:

✅ Staying active with weight-bearing exercise
✅ Getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and protein
✅ Avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol
✅ Knowing your risk factors
✅ Talking with your healthcare provider about bone density screening

Strong bones support a strong life. Take steps today to build, protect, and strengthen your bones for the future!

🚗💙 National Teen Driver Safety Week | October 18-24, 2026 💙🚗

Motor vehicle crashes remain one of the leading causes of death for teens in the United States, making safe driving habits more important than ever. During National Teen Driver Safety Week, we encourage parents, caregivers, and teens to have important conversations about staying safe behind the wheel.

✅ Buckle up every trip, every time
✅ Put the phone away and avoid distractions
✅ Obey speed limits and traffic laws
✅ Never drive impaired or ride with an impaired driver
✅ Limit passengers and focus on the road
✅ Get plenty of rest before driving

Parents play a vital role in helping teens build safe driving skills. Set clear expectations, model safe driving behaviors, and continue practicing with your teen as they gain experience.

Let's work together to keep our young drivers, their passengers, and everyone on our roadways safe.
