Every year on December 3rd, the world observes the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). In 2025, the United Nations theme is “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. This day is a reminder that over 1.3 billion people worldwide—1 in 6 of us—live with significant disabilities. The observance calls for equity, accessibility, and inclusive health systems that recognize the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.

Every October, we celebrate Health Literacy Month—a time to recognize the importance of helping individuals understand and use health information to make informed decisions. At Libélula Primary Care, we believe that empowered patients are healthier patients.
