Water Testing Awareness (Private Wells) 🚰

If your home uses a private well, water quality is your responsibility. Unlike public water systems, private wells are not regularly monitored, which makes routine testing an important step for protecting your family’s health. Testing helps identify concerns like bacteria, nitrates, or other contaminants before they become a problem.

Currently Loup Basin Public Health Department does not provide water testing kits, we encourage private well owners to test regularly and stay informed about their water quality.

Childhood Lead Awareness 🧪

Lead exposure can impact a child’s growth and development, especially for children under age 6. Lead can be found in places like older homes, paint dust, and plumbing, often without visible signs. Simple steps like regular handwashing, using cold water for drinking and cooking, and keeping play areas clean can help reduce exposure.

Testing is the best way to know if lead is a concern for your family.

For more information about childhood lead safety or lead testing, contact Loup Basin Public Health Department at 308-346-5795.

Strong families build strong communities. Healthy routines today support lifelong wellness.

There’s no guidebook to parenting, and that’s where our Healthy Families Program comes in. Our goal is to support parents and their child(ren) as they grow, offering guidance along the way.

The Healthy Families Program is a voluntary service that connects families with in-home Family Support Specialists. They bring activities for children that build play and learning skills, while also supporting parents every step of the journey.

For more information on Healthy Families Loup Basin, call our office at 308-346-5795.

🚗💨 Reminder to Parents and Caregivers 💨🚗

As temperatures drop, it's important to keep our kids safe when traveling! ❄️

❌ NO Puffy Coats in Car Seats ❌

When a child wears a thick, puffy coat in a car seat, the harness straps can't fit snugly, which can be dangerous in the event of an accident. The padding of the coat creates extra space between the child and the harness, reducing its effectiveness.

✅ Instead:

Dress kids in thinner layers and keep a blanket in the car for warmth.

After securing the harness, you can cover them with the coat or blanket, ensuring the harness stays tight to their body.

Your child's safety is our top priority! 🚸 Stay warm, stay safe, and keep those car rides safe for everyone.

Mental health awareness reminds us that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies 🧠💙

When we talk about mental health openly, we reduce stigma, encourage people to seek support sooner, and strengthen our communities. Checking in with ourselves and each other can make a real difference. Awareness is the first step toward understanding, connection, and healing.

Staying up to date on vaccines helps protect you, your family, and those most vulnerable in our communities.
