Did you know that a blue circle is the official symbol for diabetes awareness? The symbol is used by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness and advocate for better care, prevention, and research for those living with diabetes. It was introduced in 2006 by the IDF and recognized by the United Nations the following year after passing a resolution on diabetes. This blue circle carries a message of unity and international support. Wear a blue ribbon to show your support for the members of your community who are living with diabetes. #Diabetes #WorldDiabetesDay #BlueCircle #BlueRibbon

“It is time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace” is the 2024 World Mental Health Day theme. Each year, World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) members, stakeholders, and supporters vote on a theme for World Mental Health Day, observed annually on October 10th. World Mental Health Day was first recognized in 1992 with the goal to increase mental health awareness, education, and act against mental health issues. Work can give employees a sense of purpose and joy. It’s also the place where full-time employed adults spend most of their time each day. However, work too often detracts from our mental health due to factors such as stress and burnout. Xeris is committed to a culture that values mental health just as much as physical health. Check in with one another and remember that help is always available. Learn more about World Mental Health Day at: wfmh.global

On September 25th, 1912, the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) was founded in The Hague, the Netherlands. Today, September 25th is recognized as #WorldPharmacistsDay. Let this day serve as a reminder of the vital contributions pharmacists make to our healthcare system, promoting health, ensuring medication safety, and providing essential guidance and care. We’d like to take a moment to express our appreciation for the tireless, behind-the-scenes work of these dedicated professionals. It’s their extensive knowledge, expertise, and commitment that change patients' lives! Thank you, pharmacists! #PharmacyHeroes #HealthcareProfessionals
