October is Tackling Hunger Month, and Healthmap Solutions urges you to join in your community’s efforts to fight this growing national health issue. Poor access to good nutrition is one reason why low-income communities are at higher risk of serious health issues, such as chronic kidney disease. It’s one of the Social Determinants of Health that we address with our Kidney Population Health Management program. You can help by making regular donations to your local food bank.

October is National Critical Illness Awareness Month. It’s a time to raise awareness of serious health conditions and to encourage early detection and preventive care. At Healthmap Solutions, we are focused on early identification of kidney disease to help prevent critical illnesses. In its early stages, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is asymptomatic and often disguised by comorbidities like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. That’s why early detection and proactive preventive measures are fundamental to Healthmap Solutions’ Kidney Population Health Management program.

Today is World Heart Day. Sponsored by the World Heart Federation, it’s a day to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as the world’s leading cause of death. At Healthmap Solutions, our focus is on CVD and hypertension (high blood pressure) as major causes of chronic kidney disease. Fortunately, heart disease is often preventable. Even small lifestyle changes, such as choosing low-sodium foods, getting some exercise, and finding ways to manage stress, can make big difference both in heart health and kidney health.

Today is National Family Health & Fitness Day. It’s aimed at promoting physical activity and health with your loved ones, based on the idea that it is easier to develop healthy living habits when they are shared with others in the household. We think it’s also a great time for a reminder that healthy kidneys are essential to overall health. In the Healthmap Solutions blog, “Kidney Disease Management: Protecting Kidney Health, Preserving Kidney Function,” we took a look at diet and lifestyle choices that help ensure long-term kidney health.
