When was the last time you checked your medicine cabinet?

Unused or expired medications can easily be forgotten but keeping medications you no longer need can create unnecessary risks in the home.

Prescription Drug Take Back Day offers a safe, convenient way to dispose of unneeded medications and help prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.

Take a few minutes to check your medications, then find a participating collection site near you to dispose of what you no longer need safely: https://ow.ly/AhwT50ZWPSj

There is no single story of what life with Down syndrome looks like.

People with Down syndrome have their own goals, personalities, relationships, talents, and dreams. They learn, work, build friendships, pursue interests, and contribute to their communities in ways that are uniquely their own.

Down Syndrome Awareness Month is an opportunity to celebrate those lives while continuing to advocate for inclusion, opportunity and belonging.

A more inclusive community gives everyone more room to live, contribute, and thrive. Learn more: https://ow.ly/IExT50ZWPf7

Mental health can affect every part of a person’s life, including how they connect with others, participate in their community, and experience the workplace.

Depression may not always be visible, which makes supportive environments especially important. Employers, healthcare professionals, community organizations, and individuals can all play a role in reducing stigma and creating spaces where conversations about mental health are met with compassion.

This month, we encourage our partners and communities to continue making those conversations part of how we support one another.

Better healthcare doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people continually ask, “How can we make this better?”

Quality can mean safer processes, clearer communication, better outcomes, and experiences that reflect what members actually need. It requires listening, learning, and a willingness to improve.

During Healthcare Quality Week, we recognize the people across Vaya Partners and our provider network who turn those questions into meaningful improvements every day.

For many of us, breast cancer is personal. We know someone who has faced it, supported someone through it, or experienced a diagnosis ourselves.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to recognize the profound impact this disease has on individuals, families, and communities. We remember those whose lives have been lost, stand with those navigating diagnosis and treatment, and honor survivors and the loved ones who have walked alongside them.

We also recognize the importance of screening and early detection. Talk with your healthcare provider about your individual risk, and learn more about breast cancer screening, prevention and resources: https://ow.ly/8UNr50ZVRIK
