June 14th, 2026 is World Blood Donor Day!

This year’s campaign, “One Drop of Humanity. Give Blood. Save Lives.”, places humanity at the heart of every blood donation. It reminds us that each donation is more than a medical act: it is a powerful expression of solidarity, compassion and collective responsibility.

Inspired by the idea that the whole of humanity can be reflected in a single drop, the campaign highlights how every donor helps form a lifeline that connects and protects us all.

June 12th, 2026 is Women Veteran's Day!

Women Veterans Day commemorates the signing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, granting women the right to serve as permanent members in the military.

Although women have been a part of the U.S. Military since the Revolutionary War, formal integration did not occur until 1948.

Today, women serve across all military roles but continue to face unique challenges regarding respect, recognition, health, and safety. This day honors all women veterans and acknowledges their contributions, struggles, and sacrifice.

June 2026 is PTSD Awareness Month

Approximately 12 million individuals in the United States are currently living with PTSD. Although there are effective treatments available, many individuals still do not receive the support they need. It is essential for everyone affected by PTSD to have access to treatments that can relieve symptoms and significantly improve their quality of life.

There are various options for treating PTSD, and for many, effective therapies can reduce symptom intensity or even
eliminate them entirely. This June, we are committed to raising awareness about PTSD and advocating for equal access to treatments.
