Boulder – November 05, 2026 -- Friday, Nov. 6, 2026, is FCS Awareness Day, and The Foundation for Triglyceride Disorders is asking the public to learn about Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) and to share patient stories using #FCSAwarenessDay.

FCS leaves the body unable to break down triglycerides

FCS is a rare, inherited disorder. It causes extremely high blood fat levels and a constant risk of severe pancreatitis. The observance falls on the first Friday of November each year. The Foundation, formerly the FCS Foundation, now also serves people with multifactorial chylomicronemia syndrome (MCS), severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) and triglyceride-induced pancreatitis.

For years, no FCS treatment existed. Several therapies are now approved, though the Foundation says access and awareness still lag behind the need.

Strasburg, Colo. – September 16, 2026 -- Dry indoor air in Strasburg, Colorado can irritate eyes, noses, and throats and worsen asthma or allergy symptoms, according to HVAC expert Darrin Monks of U.S. Mechanical Company, featured in a new HelloNation article.

Colorado's elevation and cold winters strip moisture from indoor air

The article explains that Strasburg's high elevation, cold winters, and naturally low humidity create year-round challenges. Running heating systems during colder months further reduces indoor moisture, leaving homes feeling colder even when thermostats are set normally.

Beyond health, dry air increases static electricity and can damage wood floors, furniture, and musical instruments.
