💙 Happy Father’s Day! 💙

Today, we celebrate the fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, caregivers, mentors, and father figures who provide love, guidance, strength, and support to their families and communities.

At the Center for Food Equity in Medicine, we recognize the many fathers who show up every day—not only for their loved ones, but also while navigating their own health journeys and caregiving responsibilities. Your dedication, resilience, and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.

We also hold space today for those who are remembering fathers no longer with us, those missing loved ones, and those carrying the legacy of a father who made a lasting impact on their lives.

To all the dads and father figures in our CFFEIM family and beyond, thank you for the countless ways you nurture, protect, and inspire those around you.

Wishing you a day filled with love, appreciation, and meaningful moments with family and friends. 💙

May is Melanoma Awareness Month ☀️🧴

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, but early detection can save lives. No matter your skin tone, everyone is at risk for sun damage and burns, even on cloudy days.

Protect your skin by:
• Wearing sunscreen daily
• Limiting excessive sun exposure
• Scheduling regular skin checks

Small steps today can make a lasting difference tomorrow.
