Join the American Thyroid Association® (ATA) (www.thyroid.org), in cooperation with the European Thyroid Association (www.eurothyroid.com) on May 25th to commemorate 10 YEARS of Global Thyroid Awareness!
Thyroid hormones regulate the body’s metabolism—the rate at which the body produces energy from nutrients and oxygen—and affects critical body functions, such as energy level and heart rate. Almost everyone knows someone affected by thyroid disease or thyroid cancer and the ATA is proud to promote international awareness on World Thyroid Day so that symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions are available around the globe.
Spreading awareness of the importance of the THYROID on World Thyroid Day is key to the ATA’s mission as the leading organization devoted to thyroid biology and to the prevention and treatment of thyroid disease through excellence in research, clinical care, education, and public health.
Here are some of the KEY RESOURCES available year-round that the ATA provides to spread awareness and education on thyroid conditions:
THYROID PATIENT INFORMATION: Reliable, expertly written thyroid educational materials are up-to-date and open access in the ATA Thyroid Information Library.
ATA PATIENT NEWSLETTER & CLINICAL THYROIDOLOGY FOR THE PUBLIC provides a free monthly e-newsletter for patients and their families to keep you up-to-date on thyroid issues, summaries of recently published articles from the medical literature that covers the broad spectrum of thyroid disorders, and invitations to upcoming patient events.
FIND-A-THYROID-SPECIALIST: If you or someone you know are experiencing thyroid symptoms, make an appointment to see a thyroid specialist – you can find one in your area (in the US and internationally) by using the ATA Physician Referral Tool
THYROID MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES for thyroid diseases and thyroid cancer, are also open to the public and accessible on the ATA website here: https://www.thyroid.org/professionals/ata-professional-guidelines/
