January is Thyroid Awareness Month — a time to shine a light on one of the body’s most powerful glands. Your thyroid may be small, but it plays a big role in regulating metabolism, energy, heart rate, and overall well-being. Millions live with thyroid disorders, and many don’t even know it. Symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings can be easy to overlook — but early detection matters.

Take charge of your health: schedule a thyroid screening, know your family history, and listen to your body. At AdventHealth, we’re here to help you feel whole — because caring for your thyroid means caring for your life.

Martin Luther King Day - On the third Monday in January, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader whose vision of justice, equality, and compassion continues to inspire us all. This day is more than a holiday — it’s a National Day of Service, reminding us of Dr. King’s words: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’”

At AdventHealth, we celebrate this day with a heart of service. Whether through volunteering, acts of kindness, or simply reflecting on how we can uplift those around us, we strive to live out our mission of whole-person care beyond our walls.

Join us in honoring Dr. King’s dream by making a positive impact in your community. Together, we can create a world rooted in love, equity, and hope.

Wear Red Day - February 6, 2026 - AdventHealth Manchester participates by encouraging team members, volunteers, and providers to wear red, share photos, and spread awareness. Press releases and social posts emphasize recognizing symptoms, calling 911 promptly, and understanding gender-specific differences in heart disease.

World Cancer Day - Every year on February 4, the world unites to raise awareness about cancer and the importance of prevention, early detection, and treatment. This year’s theme, “United by Unique,” reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a unique story — and together, we can make a difference.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but up to 40% of cancer cases are preventable, and early detection saves lives. Screenings like mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap tests can catch cancer in its earliest stages, when treatment is most effective.

At AdventHealth, we believe in whole-person care — body, mind, and spirit. Take this opportunity to prioritize your health: schedule your cancer screening today and encourage loved ones to do the same.
