Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, or CML, is a disorder of the stem cells that accounts for about 30% of all adult leukemias. Due to advancements in tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the 10-year survival rate for patients has dramatically improved to around 85%. It’s advancements like these that justify the constant drive to push for better outcomes, dream of brighter futures, and care about the community of patients and caregivers alike. As we mark World CML Day on September 22nd, it’s important to recognize how far we’ve come while acknowledging the challenges ahead.

Childhood cancer awareness month is here, serving as a reminder that pediatric cancer remains the leading cause of death by disease in children younger than 14 years. Despite this, the survival rate has risen to more than 80%—an impressive number for many children who fight the battle every year. There are many ways to support these children this month and beyond—volunteering, donating, joining walk or run events, and so much more. Let’s show our support for these brave children! #GoldSeptember #ChildhoodCancerAwareness

August flew by in the blink of an eye–but it’s still National Eye Exam Month! If you ever need an excuse to visit the eye doctor, here’s one: many vision problems like macular degeneration and glaucoma are slow to progress and become more common as you age. So make that “out of office” reminder to get your vision checked and encourage your coworkers to do the same. It’s never too late to schedule that comprehensive eye exam and take a bold step towards protecting your health and well-being! 👁️ 👁️

Did you know 1 in 50 people is a genetic carrier for SMA? Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a rare neurodegenerative disease that impacts muscle use across a variety of essential activities, including breathing, eating, walking, and more.

Let’s come together to help advocate for this community! 🎗️#SMAAwareness #CureSMA

Summer is in full swing, and while the plants photosynthesize and grow along with the sun, the stats aren’t always so bright and sunny. Many BIPOC individuals may face mental health challenges while navigating life. Stigma around mental health, inadequate access to healthcare, and experiences of medical bias can make these challenges even more overwhelming. July is recognized as National BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month to highlight these issues and persuade us all to be the source for better health. Because everyone benefits when people from all racial and ethnic groups thrive. Here are some resources to support your community: https://lnkd.in/e9ERMaWR
