🌍💖 Join Us in Honoring National Minority Donor Awareness Month! 💖🌍 This August, we unite to raise awareness about the critical need for organ, eye, and tissue donations in our multicultural communities. One Voice. One Vision. To heal and save lives. Did you know that over half of those waiting for life-saving transplants come from diverse backgrounds? Communities of color face unique challenges, and we must work together to combat misconceptions and encourage donation. Here’s why this matters: 🔹 African Americans represent 28.7% of transplant candidates but only 12.5% of organ donors. 🔹 Asian American & Pacific Islander communities are significantly impacted by liver disease, yet they account for just 3.3% of donors. 🔹 Native Americans face diabetes at higher rates, with fewer registered as donors than those in need of transplants. 🔹 LatinX individuals make up 20% of transplant waitlists, yet many are unaware of the support from the Catholic Church for organ donation. At Gift of Life, we believe that by sharing these truths and inspiring action, we can change lives. 💚 Be inspired. Understand the truth. Make a difference. 💚

🌡️🤰 As the summer heat approaches, a compelling study published in JAMA Network Open raises important concerns for expectant mothers. Research involving the health records of 53 million women over 24 years indicates a link between prolonged heat waves and an increase in preterm and early-term births. ⚠️ After four days of high temperatures, a 2% rise in preterm births and a 1% increase in early-term births were observed. Notably, for each degree Celsius increase above the heat threshold, there was an additional 1% increase in these rates. This is particularly pertinent as we brace for another hot summer, following 2023's record temperatures. 👶 Premature births occur before 37 weeks of gestation, carrying potential health risks and financial burdens for families. It's also a matter of equity. Younger mothers, those with less education, and those from minority ethnic or racial groups were disproportionately affected, likely due to inadequate access to cooling resources and healthcare. At L&M Foundation, we are dedicated to addressing these disparities and supporting maternal health. As we anticipate a hotter future, it’s critical to ensure that all families have the resources and care necessary to safeguard the wellbeing of mothers and their babies. 🔗 Learn more about our initiatives at www.landmfoundation.org and join us in advocating for a safer environment for expectant mothers. 👉 Read the full study for more insights: https://lnkd.in/duQ76kwA #MaternalHealth #ClimateChange #HeatwaveImpact #PretermBirth #HealthEquity #LMFoundation
