How many people are aware that April 8th is National Cushings Awareness Day?

Cushing’s syndrome (aka hypercortisolism or hyperadrenocorticism) is an endocrine disorder caused by high levels of the hormone cortisol. It is pretty rare and generally affects adults aged 20 to 50. Approximately 10 to 15 of every million people are affected every year. It was discovered by Harvey Cushing in 1932.
