Glaucoma Awareness Month

Posted on by APAdmin

January brings awareness to glaucoma.

 

Glaucoma is a scary disorder that effects hundreds of thousands of people. Glaucoma is well known for its slow progressing vision loss that could result in blindness. We must stand together to raise awareness to this disease to find a cure!

 

Currently there is no cure for glaucoma, but with modern medicine there are ways to prevent vision loss and blindness. Speak with your doctor for recommended early detection screening and way to prevent glaucoma if you are at risk.

 

Let’s bring awareness to glaucoma by wearing the green awareness ribbon. Start the conversation and fight for a cure for our loved ones, our friends, and our neighbor!

Gastroparesis Awareness Month

Posted on by APAdmin

In 2016 Gastroparesis was added to the National Health Observation Calendar for August. Gastroparesis translates into stomach paralysis meaning the muscles in the stomach are unable to release its contents. this can cause major discomfort and pain among many other symptoms. Eating solid foods are typically difficult for those who are suffering with Gastroparesis. Many people feel symptoms of heart burn, indigestion, vomiting, and other symptoms similar to GERD. Because the contents of the stomach cannot properly travel through the digestive tract, malnutrition and weight loss follow.

While Gastroparesis makes it mark in August, the awareness color is green! Show your support and awareness of this rare condition with our Green Awareness Ribbon silicone wristbands, silicone rings, jewelry charms, teddy bear, Lapel Ribbon, various styles of keychains, Lanyards, and even Balloons!
