Carbon monoxide (CO) is called the “silent killer” for a reason.
It’s colorless, odorless, and can be deadly — especially during colder months when furnaces and space heaters are running.

Here’s how to protect your family:
✅ Install CO detectors on every level of your home and near all sleeping areas.
✅ Test them monthly and replace batteries twice a year.
✅ Replace the detector every 5–7 years (check the manufacturer’s date on the back).
✅ Never use ovens, grills, or vehicles to heat your home.

Know the symptoms: headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and fatigue — often mistaken for the flu.
If you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, get outside and call 911 right away.

Let’s keep our homes safe and our families healthy this winter. ❤️🏠

Here we are...the BRR months are back! ☃
A reminder to those with kiddos in car seats...blankets over the car seat harness are a good alternative to heavy, puffy coats which can cause the car seat harness to not fit snuggly and can be a safety hazard! It is best to use a lightweight fleece and a blanket rather than the puffy coat!

Questions about car seat safety or fit?
Check with a Car Seat Technician at Countryside Public Health by stopping in one of our offices or calling us at 1-800-657-3291.

With the days getting shorter are you starting to feel the "winter blues"? You're not alone!

As days get shorter, many people notice a dip in energy, mood, and motivation — known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

💡 Here are a few ways to help lift your spirits this season:
☀️ Get outside for a few minutes of sunlight each day
🚶‍♀️ Stay active — even gentle movement helps
🍎 Eat balanced meals and stay hydrated
💬 Stay connected with friends and family
🕯 Create cozy routines that bring comfort

If your mood doesn’t improve or starts to interfere with daily life, reach out for help. Talk to your healthcare provider or call 988 for free, confidential support anytime. 💛

Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated — and it can save your family money at the grocery store every week! 📝

Start small: plan 3–4 dinners, make your shopping list from those recipes, and stick to it at the store. Use those leftovers to help with the next night's meal!
You’ll waste less food and spend less, too!
