To kick off a full weekend of awareness, SLBMC staff are participating in the global \u201cRock Your Socks\u201d campaign today, Friday, March 20. We invite the entire community to join us today and throughout the weekend by wearing brightly colored or mismatched socks. Because chromosomes are shaped like socks, this fun, visible gesture serves as a powerful symbol of acceptance and individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorld Down Syndrome Day is a reminder that every individual deserves to be seen, valued, and included,\u201d said Dr. Saleem Hughes, Chair of the Pediatrics Department at SLBMC. \u201cThe \u2018Rock Your Socks\u2019 campaign is a simple way to start conversations and challenge perceptions. We encourage everyone to wear their socks proudly and help us spread awareness across Antigua and Barbuda.\u201d<\/p>
