January is National Radon Action Month. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers—but testing is easy and affordable. All homes should be tested, and retesting every two years is recommended. Learn more and find testing resources here: https://www.epa.gov/radon

School break is a great time for teens to learn something that truly matters.

During February break, the Chelmsford Health Department is hosting a Youth First Aid & CPR Training for ages 12–18. This hands-on class teaches real, life-saving skills—CPR, AED use, choking response, opioid overdose response, and basic first aid—all while earning an American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR/AED/First Aid certification valid for two years.

Whether your teen is interested in babysitting, sports, healthcare, volunteering, or just wants to be prepared to help others, this is a valuable skill they can carry for life.

📅 February 18 | 1:00–4:00 PM
