February is awareness month for heart health, cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and, more generally, cancer prevention, low vision, prenatal infection prevention, children's dental health, Marfan syndrome (a connective tissue disorder characterized by unusually long limbs and believed to have affected Abraham Lincoln) and Raynaud's disease, which causes decreased blood flow to fingers, toes and other areas of the body.
