This month, we celebrate family caregivers—the heroes who care for loved ones, often making big personal sacrifices. Family caregivers give more than just care—they provide love, strength and stability when it’s needed most.

 Mercy Care is here to support caregivers with resources and encouragement. Remember, you don’t have to do it all on your own.

We get it—having an advance directive may not be top of mind for many people. But choosing a trusted person to speak on your behalf in unexpected situations can bring peace of mind. 

 Making a plan doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive, and it ensures that your healthcare wishes are respected. Take a small step today and visit chooseyourperson.org to learn more and start the process.

You don’t have to face grief alone. We heal and find comfort by connecting with others.

 When someone dies by suicide, it affects many people—about 135, on average. Healing can come through support groups, friendships and community. 

This International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, let’s listen, support and share stories to help others find hope and healing.

 #SurvivorDay #YouAreNotAlone

In the U.S., someone is diagnosed with lung cancer every two minutes. Regular screenings and watching for early signs—like chest pain, a long-lasting cough or hoarseness—can help catch lung cancer early.

 This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, take a moment to check in with yourself and loved ones. If you have any concerns, reach out to your primary care provider.
