Features This Week:

Homeless Memorial Day

This day serves to raise awareness of those who don't have a place to call home, and to remember those who have died as a result of being homeless. Since 1990, our country has observed National Homeless Persons' Memorial Day.

Food Safety

Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is one of the most common causes of food poisoning in the United States. CDC estimates C. perfringens causes nearly 1 million cases of foodborne illness each year.

Healthy Holidays

Take steps to keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy.

Women's Bleeding

Heavy bleeding can signal a bleeding disorder. The sooner you know what you’re dealing with, the sooner you can take steps to manage it! Women with bleeding disorders may experience heavy, hard-to-stop bleeding, especially during or after surgery, dental procedures, and childbirth. The National Hemophilia Foundation’s Better You Know campaign funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides tools that can help you determine if you are at risk for a bleeding disorder.
