9月是兒童肥胖宣傳月。 在美國，超過1,470萬的兒童和青少年患有肥胖症——幾乎占2至19歲兒童人口的20%。在紐約州，估計有五分之一的兒童患有肥胖症。
種族、社會經濟和環境因素均可影響兒童肥胖率。重要的是，我們需要意識到，肥胖的兒童更有可能成長為肥胖的成年人，並罹患危及生命的疾病，例如糖尿病、高血壓和心臟病。

九月是鐮狀細胞宣傳月，我們要借此機會為鐮狀細胞病(SCD)病患展開教育，並為他們發聲倡議。我們還要借助宣傳月這個平台來提高人們的意識，消除誤解，並強調儘早發現疾病和接受全面治療的重要意義。

Why Do You Need an Eye Exam?
Diabetes can damage your eyes, leading to vision loss and blindness. Often, there are no symptoms until it’s too late. A yearly eye exam can help protect your sight. During the exam, your eye care professional will check for damage caused by diabetes to the nerves and blood vessels of your eyes.

Immunizations
在預防嚴重疾病和減少疾病的社區傳播方面，疫苗發揮著至關重要的作用。
兒童免疫接種可以預防麻疹、腮腺炎、風疹、脊髓灰質炎、甲型肝炎和乙型肝炎等嚴重疾病。這些疫苗可以保護兒童，降低其在成年後出現嚴重健康併發症的風險。
