EDWARDSVILLE - The Journal of Patient Experience features an article that covers a treatment breast cancer survivors may not even know they need: behavioral health care. Authored by Kelly Gable, PharmD, BCPP, FAAPP, professor and director of Well-being and Resilience at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Pharmacy (SOP), the article "Dear Breast Cancer Oncology: Where is the Behavioral Health Care?" is told from the patient’s perspective. Gable, an avid runner and medical professional, was diagnosed with hormone positive breast cancer at 45 years of age. She underwent a mastectomy, suffered through the effects of chemotherapy and anti-estrogen treatment, that included debilitating joint pain. Depression was fast approaching.

EAST ST. LOUIS, IL — Today, Congresswoman Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) and Congressman Wesley Bell (MO-01) rallied with American Federal of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 2192 and federal workers impacted by the ongoing government shutdown.

They know that it’s our veterans, seniors,

Did you know that nearly 70% of Halloween enthusiasts prefer handmade costumes over store-bought ones? This preference is not merely about cost savings; it’s about self-expression, originality, and the satisfaction of crafting something uniquely your own. Designing your own Halloween costume can transform the holiday from a routine event into a personal artistic endeavor. But where do you start, and how do you ensure your creation stands out? The Art of Conceptualizing Your Costume Before diving into fabrics and glue guns, the most crucial step is deciding on the costume concept.

October 3rd stands as a pivotal date in world history, marked by events that have shaped nations, cultures, and global dynamics. 1990: Germany Reunified After Decades of Division Arguably the most significant event on this date in modern history, October 3, 1990, marks the official reunification of East and West Germany into a single nation. After 45 years of separation following World War II, the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) merged, ending Cold War tensions on German soil. This reunification was the culmination of peaceful protests in East Germany, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, and extensive diplomatic negotiations among global powers. German Unity Day, celebrated annually on October 3rd, commemorates this momentous occasion. The reunification not only restored Germany’s territorial integrity but also set a new course for European integration, economic development, and political cooperation. It symbolized
