At Healthline, our mission is to help people live better, longer. This mission starts with access to accurate and accessible information to help empower our readers to make the best decisions to support their health journeys. That’s why this September, we’re partnering with our sister brand, Healthgrades, to spread awareness about Health Empowerment Day.
Health Empowerment Day is a new annual awareness moment created by Healthgrades to inspire and support people, especially those living with chronic conditions, to feel more confident, informed, and in control of their healthcare journey.
At Healthline, we also believe that healthcare looks different for everyone. Each person’s journey is unique and ever-changing. And healthcare extends beyond the doctor’s office.
Healthgrades is owned by RVO Health. By clicking on this link, we may receive a commission. Learn more.
This month, we encourage you to take charge of your health. Make that appointment you’ve been putting off. Take the first step to start that new healthy habit. Set up a plan to remember to take medications. Commit to advocating for yourself at your next doctor’s appointment.
But we don’t expect you to do this alone. We have resources to support you in your journey.
