American Internet Tech donates to American Cancer Society (September 2020)
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to fewer vaccines being given because routine check-ups have been postponed. As a new school year begins, it’s a good time to check if any family members are due for vaccinations. Your pediatrician or family doctor, your child’s school system or college, and your local health department can help you figure out which vaccines are needed to keep your family up-to-date or to get them caught up on vaccine doses that might have been missed. And because the availability of in-person visits can vary by state, county, or city, they can help you safely plan for and schedule appointments to get needed vaccines.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. More and more young people are surviving childhood cancer, yet the effects of having cancer and going through treatment often continue into adulthood. Research shows that people diagnosed with cancer during adolescence or young adulthood are less likely to go to college, live independently, form close relationships, or have a job later in life.
That could be because the experience of cancer affects a person’s mental and emotional development, including how they develop skills in coping, managing stress, setting goals, making decisions, and handling emotions.
The American Cancer Society is deeply committed to finding new answers that will help every child and family affected by cancer and American Internet Tech is supporting their tremendous efforts by making one more monthly donation.
