Are you or someone you know one of the 15 million people impacted by food allergies today?

If so, certain foods may leave you feeling itchy, scratchy, swollen, or breathless. It isn’t always possible to anticipate these upcoming reactions when consuming foods that are not your friend, especially when hidden ingredients are involved.

Each day millions of Americans are impacted by the effects of mental health issues. Mental Health continues to be a rising matter for both adults and children.

This day serves as a collaborative effort among national, state, and community organizations to come together and ensure adult Americans have their future healthcare choices known and safeguarded when experiencing a medical emergency.
