Message from our Nurse Navigator
December is here – the end of our calendar year. As we look forward to the holiday season and welcoming a new year, there are a few causes that we recognize this month.
World AIDS Day is observed on December 1 each year. It is a day of solidarity for people around the world who are affected by HIV. This is a day for voices to unite by sharing experiences, remembering those lost, and standing together in the fight against HIV. The CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign is the national campaign of the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. It aims to empower communities, partners, and health care providers to reduce HIV stigma and promote HIV testing, prevention, and treatment. Here at WMC, we offer this testing to all pregnant patients and any patients considered high risk.
December is Universal Human Rights Month. This month is a reminder that there are basic human rights of every person. It’s also a time to reflect on the way we treat others, and to do what we can in the fight for equality, especially in a time when topics such as systemic racism are widely being addressed. Here at WMC, we see a largely diversified population and must be sure to recognize each patient as a human with rights, and treat them with dignity and respect, no matter our personal beliefs or values.
December is also Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome awareness month. In December, we shine a light on the fight against twin to twin transfusion syndrome and increase awareness and educate the public of the risks of being pregnant with monochorionic twins, triplets and higher multiples and directing them to The TTTS Foundation for immediate help and information about their pregnancies.
Lastly, December is Learn a Foreign Language Month! Language learning supports academic achievement, improved reading abilities, linguistic awareness, and positive attitudes towards other cultures. We are fortunate to have multilingual providers and staff here at WMC and medically trained translator services available. What language would you like to learn??
Have a fantastic December, and of course, wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.
