Congrats to our board member, @tpainko for being a face of science!

This week, the world population hit 8 billion and it is still increasing. Know what else is increasing? The number of people with some degree of hearing loss. With that, we hope to see more and more DHH people joining the healthcare field!

Over the weekend, AMPHL's president, Vice President, and Secretary participated in a Virtual Health Fair to discuss women's health and mental health. Did you get a chance to attend? Let us know below!

Happy Veteran's Day! Did you know that hearing loss is one of the most prevalent service-connected conditions veterans experience?

Yesterday was the midterm elections and thousands of people went to the polls to vote for people who support the changes they want to see. If you could talk to a politician about disability rights, what would you want them to know?

November has many health-related awareness campaigns. Here are a few of them to show your support for!

Happy Halloween! Have fun and be safe!

The world has gained many things thanks to the perspective of deaf and hard-of-hearing people, including many amazing medical professionals! #DEAM
