"As we reach the final months of the year, I find that the change in seasons inspires me not just to pull out my fall wardrobe and hot chocolate, but also to reflect and begin to mentally prepare for next year’s new beginning. I usually take some time to think about how I’ve grown and navigated my personal and professional journey in the past year. Renewing my membership in ACPM, yes, is a practical decision, but also is a deeply personal one that ties directly into my desire for growth and sense of fulfillment. I’d like to share a few reasons why I continue to maintain my membership and hope some of these will ring true for you as well."

Today marks National Latinx AIDS Awareness Day, a significant occasion dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of HIV on Hispanic and Latino communities across the United States. This day serves as a vital reminder of the unique challenges faced by these communities in relation to HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. It is essential that we come together to combat HIV stigma, which often prevents individuals from seeking the care and resources they need. By promoting open conversations around HIV, we can encourage testing, enhance education about prevention strategies, and ensure that those living with HIV receive the treatment and support they deserve. Join us in this important effort to raise awareness and foster community engagement.

"Little did I know, while sitting in the audience at PM2024 in April and listening to Dr. Dean Ornish share his research and finding inspiration in his evidence-based perspectives on lifestyle medicine and chronic disease, that I would come across more of his inspiring words when thinking about ACPM’s new online community, ACPM Pulse! As Dr. Ornish declared, “The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water and food.” And, I have to agree! Formalizing the concept of community can be traced back to the 1700’s when the first U.S. association/professional society was established. However, the feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common interests, beliefs, attitudes and goals is timeless and innate." Read this month's CEO Update: "Air, Water, Food.. Community!" by Interim CEO Melissa Ferrari, CAE Read here: https://bit.ly/4eEg3Of
