Originally a local celebration honoring the life of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) special agent Enrique S. Camarena, Red Ribbon Week grew to become a national movement in 1985 when it was brought to the attention of then First Lady Nancy Reagan before being formalized in 1988 by the National Family Partnership. (1) Now, Red Ribbon Week is celebrated annually from October 23rd to the 31st to spread awareness about drug use prevention, education, and advocacy for drug-free communities.
As a part of the national campaign, Red Ribbon Week in schools is an annual, week-long campaign focusing on drug and alcohol abuse prevention. During this week, participating schools and institutions organize a variety of activities and events to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and to encourage students to make healthy choices. These activities can include classroom discussions, assemblies, guest speakers, art and essay contests, wearing red ribbons, and engaging in community service projects related to drug prevention. Red Ribbon Week in schools serves as a valuable opportunity for educators and students to come together to address the issue of drug abuse and emphasize the importance of living a drug-free life. It helps create a supportive and educational environment to empower students with the knowledge and motivation to make responsible decisions regarding substance use.
According to RedRibbon.org, participating in Red Ribbon Week is relatively straightforward and can involve various activities and efforts to promote drug and alcohol abuse prevention and education. Here are some ways to participate:

Chlamydia vs Gonorrhea vs Trichomoniasis
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than you might think, affecting millions of people every year. They’re usually spread through sexual contact, but some can also be passed from a mother to her baby during childbirth or through blood.
STIs, like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis, often share similar symptoms—things like unusual discharge, pain when you pee, or itching. This makes it difficult to tell which one you might have just based on symptoms alone. While a doctor is your best resource for accurate guidance, we’ll break down the main differences between chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis in the sections below.

These are some of the feedbacks we hear from over 150,000 amazing patients.
Very easy and fast, had my medications refilled within an hour and spent a lot less than my regular doctor charges for an appointment. Definitely using next time
I met difficulty to get a referral for an X-ray. They finally helped me solve the problem. They are patient, helpful and professional. Definitely will come back if I need online referral in the future.
Very quick and helpful! If their prescribed method of treatment doesn’t work first time around they will prescribe you an alternate method free of charge.
Nice medical services.
