November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month This month is the perfect opportunity to learn more about long-term care, its importance, and the growing need for these essential services. Long-term care provides support for individuals who need help with daily activities due to aging, illness, or disability—and the demand for it is rising. ?? Here are 5 key facts about long-term care: 1?? Americans are living longer thanks to advances in medical care. In 2019, the life expectancy for those reaching age 65 averaged 20 additional years. 2?? By 2030, 1 in 5 U.S. residents will be 65 or older. 3?? Currently, 14 million Americans need long-term support services—a number expected to grow to 27 million by 2050. 4?? Long-term care can be expensive, with average out-of-pocket costs of $140,000 and roughly 17% of individuals spending over $100,000. 5?? By 2040, cases of Alzheimer’s and related dementias are expected to nearly double, affecting 13 million Americans—8.5 million women and 4.5 million men. Let’s raise awareness about the importance of planning for long-term care and supporting those who provide these critical services. Together, we can build a community of care and compassion for our aging population. #LongTermCareAwareness #AgingWell #SupportAndCare #MarinCommunityClinics

Your contribution could be the cure for someone battling blood cancer. #MarrowAwarenessMonth #BeTheMatch #BoneMarrowDonation #MarinCommunityClinics

??? November is Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month ??? Did you know that people with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing blinding eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts? Yet, awareness of this serious issue remains low among ethnicities at higher risk for diabetes. Key Facts to Know: ?? Over 30 million Americans have diabetes, increasing their risk for vision loss and blindness. ?? The most common diabetic eye disease is diabetic retinopathy, but people with diabetes are also at risk for diabetic macular edema (DME), cataracts, and glaucoma. ?? The longer someone has diabetes, the greater their risk of developing diabetic eye disease. ?? The Good News: Early detection and treatment can reduce the risk of blindness by 95%! Managing diabetes through diet, exercise, and medication is the best way to protect your vision and overall health. This month, we encourage everyone with diabetes to schedule a comprehensive eye exam and take proactive steps to safeguard their sight. Let’s work together to raise awareness and help prevent diabetes-related vision loss! #DiabeticEyeDiseaseAwareness #ProtectYourVision #DiabeticRetinopathy #MarinCommunityClinics

November 21 is World Pancreatic Cancer Day – a day to raise awareness about a silent but deadly disease. Recognizing the symptoms early can make a difference. Here are seven common symptoms to watch for: ?? Pain in Your Back or Stomach Persistent pain in the abdomen or mid-back may be caused by a tumor pressing on nerves or nearby organs. ?? Bloating Pancreatic cancer can lead to digestive issues, gas, bloating, and even ascites (fluid build-up in the abdomen), causing a swollen belly. ?? Trouble Digesting Food Loss of appetite, nausea, and indigestion are common. These symptoms may signal the cancer is affecting digestion and nutrient absorption. ?? Unexplained Weight Loss Losing weight without a clear reason? This could be due to cancer affecting digestion or metabolic changes that increase calorie burning and muscle breakdown. Learn more and protect your health: https://pancan.org/ If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, speak with a healthcare provider. #WorldPancreaticCancerDay #PancreaticCancerAwareness #HealthAwareness #EarlyDetectionMatters #marincommunityclinics
