June Awareness

June is Alzheimers & Brain Awareness Month, National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month, and PTSD Awareness Month. Over 6 million Americans live with Alzheimers, over 39 million Americans suffer from migraines, and PTSD affects 1 in 11 people in their lifetime. As Osteopathic Physicians, you treat the patient, not just the symptoms. Let's prioritize brain health with early recognition, patient education, and recognizing the signs of these neurological issues that affect so many people today!
