1–30 Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month
Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month is an opportunity to join the global conversation about the brain, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Everyone
is at risk to develop Alzheimer’s, a fatal disease that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed. During the month of June, the Alzheimer’s Association asks people around the world to “go purple” and fight Alzheimer’s disease.

1–30 | Hernia Awareness Month Each year, approximately 750,000 Americans seek treatment for a hernia, yet experts
believe hundreds of thousands suffer in silence, primarily because they fear surgery. During Hernia Awareness Month, the Hernia Resource Center focuses on providing the public with information about the latest available treatments.

11–17), is a special observance passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on May 31, 1994. Men’s Health Month is celebrated across the country with screenings, health fairs, media appearances, and other health education and outreach activities.

1–30 | PTSD Awareness Month Following a traumatic event, many people have painful memories that will fade over
time. For others, however, the memories, thoughts and feelings don’t go away—even months or years later. If stress reactions do not improve over time and disrupt everyday life, it is important to seek help to determine if post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is present. The purpose of PTSD Awareness Month is to raise public awareness of PTSD and effective treatments.
