When wildfires swept through Los Angeles early this year, Gail Geyer and her husband lost their home and nearly all their belongings. Amid the heartbreak, one loss stood out more than she expected: her 50-Year Joslin Medal. 🏅 Awarded to those who’ve lived with Type 1 diabetes for five decades or more, the medal had always been a quiet source of strength for Gail—a reminder of everything she’s overcome. When she reached out to Joslin, we were honored to send a replacement. To Gail, and to so many others, the medal is more than a keepsake. It’s a symbol of resilience, of living boldly with T1D, and of a spirit that can’t be broken. 💙 Learn more about Gail's story: https://joslin.org/news-stories/all-news-stories/stories/2025/05/after-the-fire-joslin-medalists-resilience-remains #JoslinMedalist #T1DStrong #Type1Diabetes #DiabetesAwareness (fb)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to recognize the importance of mental wellbeing, reduce stigma through education, and advocate for greater access to quality care. In the U.S., 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 adolescents experience a mental health condition — but many don’t receive the treatment they need. That’s why awareness is so vital. If you need support managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other behavioral health challenges, we’re here to help. ✔️ Check in with your primary care doctor ✔️ Visit our website https://bilhbehavioral.org/ ✔️ Call or text 988 – the 3-digit # for the Behavioral Health Helpline #MentalHealthAwareness #EndTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone #MentalHealthMatters (fb)
