“But what if my doctor isn’t listening?”

That question matters.

During our Red Light Moment: From Awareness to Action, Dr. Kanika Cunningham, MD, MPH, Director of the St. Louis County Department of Public Health, shared an important reminder about communicating with your healthcare provider and making sure your concerns are heard. St. Louis County Government

When something feels different, don’t dismiss yourself.

Notice. Pay attention to what has changed.
Pause. Be clear about what you’re experiencing.
Act. Ask questions, share the details, and advocate for yourself.

Because being heard can begin with knowing how to communicate what you’re noticing.

September ended. The message didn’t. ❤️

Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month may be over, but awareness cannot stop when the calendar changes.

At our Red Light Moment, we talked about what it means to truly Notice. Pause. Act. To pay attention to what our bodies are telling us.

To know our numbers. To understand our risks. And to take action instead of waiting for a crisis.

This work is not seasonal for us.

We’re carrying the message forward, one conversation, one family, and one community at a time.

Notice. Pause. Act.

From awareness to action.

THEY COULD HAVE GONE HOME. THEY CHOSE TO SHOW UP. ❤️

It was Friday evening.
The workweek was over. People were tired. There were families to get home to, shoes to kick off, and a thousand reasons to say, “Maybe next time.”

But these moments happened because people chose to stay a little longer.

Civic and community leaders. EMS and public safety. Healthcare professionals. Advocates. Community members. People carrying missions of their own.

They came to The Red Light Moment: From Awareness to Action to listen, share, ask questions, connect and experience Notice. Pause. Act.

And that matters.

Awareness doesn't move forward because one organization talks louder. It moves when people with different experiences, resources and responsibilities are willing to sit in the same room and listen to one another.

Notice. Pause. Act.
From Awareness to Action. ❤️💛💚
