POSTS STORIES REELS

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the culture, history, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities — while continuing an important conversation about health equity. 💜

For many Spanish-speaking patients and families, language barriers, navigating health insurance, and finding trusted health information can make an already complicated health care system even harder to navigate.

That’s why the Global Healthy Living Foundation and CreakyJoints are committed to creating resources in both English and Spanish that help people feel informed, represented, and empowered in their health.

From patient stories and health education to insurance guidance, advocacy tools, podcasts, and guided meditations, our Hispanic Heritage Month hub brings these resources together in one place.

Tipo premio Spoonie del Año 🏆

Después de años de ser minimizadx, ignoradx o de escuchar que “todo está normal,” finalmente tener respuestas puede traer alivio, duelo y validación al mismo tiempo. Un diagnóstico no hace que el dolor desaparezca — hace que sea creído.

A veces, ser escuchadx es la verdadera victoria.

February 2 is Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, not just “arthritis.” It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue—primarily the joints—causing pain, swelling, stiffness, fatigue, and long-term joint damage if left untreated.

Common misconceptions about RA:
• It only affects older adults (RA can develop at any age)
• It’s caused by overuse or lifestyle choices (it’s autoimmune)
• It only impacts joints (RA can affect the heart, lungs, eyes, and more)
• If you “look fine,” you must be fine (RA symptoms are often invisible)

RA is also linked to other conditions, including cardiovascular disease, lung complications, osteoporosis, and mental health challenges, making early diagnosis and proper treatment critical.

Today is about awareness, education, and believing patients—especially when symptoms aren’t visible. If you live with RA, your pain is real, your experience is valid, and you deserve care that listens.

🩺 Speak up. Ask questions. Advocate for your health.
