February is Kids Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Health Month. The proper diagnosis and treatment of pediatric ENT disorders offers one of the greatest gifts to our children - the ability to discover and communicate with the world around them. The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery launched the Kids ENT Health Month campaign as an important contribution to this goal. Visit the Kids ENT Health Web site to learn more about ear, nose and throat disorders in children and access the interactive “just for kids” section.

Each year, cardiovascular diseases claim the lives of nearly half a million women in the United States. During American Heart Month, the American Heart Association focuses on women and challenges them to take action against their leading killer and stop heart disease. Women can take the Go Red Heart CheckUp - an online, 10-year risk assessment that helps women calculate their risk of heart disease. Take the CheckUp and learn how to make healthy habits part of your daily routine.

To raise awareness about the importance of oral health, the American Dental Association (ADA) sponsors National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM). In February, visit the NCDHM section of the ADA Web site for free online resources, including coloring and activity sheets for children, and a link to the ADA catalog of books and videos.
