November's Health Awareness Days (2021)
Last month, I posted a blog about Health Awareness Days and promised I'd continue the theme of sharing these each month, as a friendly little reminder to my followers. Awareness Holidays are similar to social media holidays but focused on bringing attention to a particular illness or affliction. Without further ado, here are the November Awareness Holidays courtesy of Healthline's article: Health Awareness Days in 2021 (healthline.com)
