🌱 This Month’s Focus: Core Values

Our core values influence how we make decisions, build relationships, and navigate life’s challenges-even when we don’t always realize it.

✨ Taking time to identify what truly matters to us can help create:
• Greater clarity and direction
• A stronger sense of purpose
• More confidence in decision-making
• Less internal conflict during stressful times

This month, we’ll explore what core values are, how they develop, and how we can use them as a guide for everyday decisions.

💭 What matters most to you? Take a moment to reflect on the values that guide your life.

🩸 September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month!

Did you know that sickle cell trait (SCT) affects about 1 in 13 Black or African American people and about 1 in 100 Hispanic/Latino people? SCT occurs when a person inherits one sickle cell gene. Most people with sickle cell trait do not have symptoms, so many may not know they carry the trait.

Knowing your status matters. If both parents have sickle cell trait, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will have sickle cell disease (SCD).

In Missouri, approximately 35 babies are born with sickle cell disease each year, making newborn screening an important tool for early identification and care.

🩸 Know your status. Talk with your healthcare provider about testing and learn more about newborn screening for SCD.

🦠 Measles: We Know Better Now

Measles may feel like a disease from the past but outbreaks can still happen when vaccination rates fall.

The good news? Measles is preventable. The MMR vaccine provides about 97% protection against measles after two doses, helping protect not only individuals but also our families, schools, and communities.

It’s easy to forget how serious measles can be when we haven’t seen its complications in generations. Let’s keep preventable diseases where they belong-in the past. 💉
