There are currently 16.9 million cancer survivors in the US. Despite the challenges of short-term and long-term effects of treatment, cancer survivors are resilient. YMCAs in California celebrates survivors during #NationalCancerSurvivorMonth.

We have a final tip for National #WaterSafetyMonth. The Y’s Safety Around Water program teaches “reach, throw, don’t go” concept of using a long object to reach them, & pull them to safety. By using this technique, children help their friend without compromising their own safety.

Children should not hold their breath for a prolonged amount of time while swimming, as this can be dangerous.

More than 1 in 3 American adults have prediabetes, but many don’t know they have it. On #DiabetesAlertDay, the Y wants you to know the risks for type 2 diabetes. Take the 60-second American Diabetes Association’s risk test to find out: https://t.co/HZwl0zxF0E

You can make better decisions about how to stay safe during severe storms & flooding if you stay informed.

Use official TV, radio, and county emergency services channels to get the information you need to be safe.
