September is National Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about this potentially life-threatening condition. AFib is an irregular heartbeat or a condition in which the heart muscles fail to contract in a strong, rhythmic way. A racing, pounding heartbeat that occurs for no apparent reason should not be ignored, especially if accompanied with other symptoms such as shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain or unusual fatigue. AFib may affect your ability to perform daily activities and impact your overall quality of life.

Mental health is an incredibly important part of overall health. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), millions of Americans each year face the reality of living with a mental health condition. Mental illness can affect virtually everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. While it is important to discuss mental health conditions year-round, the first week of October is designated as Mental Awareness Illness Week, and is a time to raise awareness of mental illness, fight discrimination and provide support.
