It’s CMV Awareness Month. Many people don’t know about Cytomegalovirus until it affects someone they love. Awareness can make a difference. 🌸

Most CMV infections show no symptoms, yet CMV can have lifelong impacts when passed to an unborn during pregnancy. Understanding the basics is a powerful first step toward reducing risk, early identification and support.

💛This CMV awareness month, save this post or share it with someone who might not have heard of CMV before. Plus, learn more about this common infection at www.nbdpn.org/cmv-awareness

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day💛

At WWHF, we are proud to work alongside partners doing critical work to improve cancer outcomes for Wisconsin -- from improving mammography quality to addressing breast and lung cancer disparities in our communities.

Today we honor every survivor and recommit to the work that gives more people the chance to hear the word "survivor" for themselves.

🌸

At WWHF we believe in the power of learning, and today we are celebrating one of our own.
