💗 February is International Prenatal Infection Prevention Month 💗

During pregnancy, germs can travel through the mother’s bloodstream and cross the placenta, which can impact both parent and baby. The good news is that many prenatal infections are preventable with simple, proactive steps.

Practicing good hygiene is key—this includes regular handwashing, attending routine prenatal care visits, staying up to date on recommended immunizations, and avoiding contact with others’ bodily fluids while pregnant. These actions help reduce the risk of infection and support a healthy pregnancy.

💙 WEDCO is here to support expecting parents by offering pregnancy testing, referrals and support for prenatal care, immunizations, and health education to help families start strong. If you think you may be pregnant or need guidance on next steps, our team can help connect you to the care and resources you need.

🦷✨ February is National Children’s Dental Health Month! ✨🦷

This month is all about building healthy habits that last a lifetime. The American Dental Association encourages parents and caregivers to brush their teeth alongside their children—modeling good oral hygiene helps kids learn proper brushing techniques, develop consistency, and understand why oral health matters.

💙 WEDCO offers a Fluoride Varnish Program for children to help protect developing teeth and support healthy smiles. This quick, safe treatment is an easy way to add extra protection—especially for young children who are still learning good brushing habits.

Healthy smiles start early—and we’re here to help! 😊

February 12th is International Epilepsy Day. Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes recurring, unprovoked seizures. However, not all seizures are the result of epilepsy. Familial traits and brain injuries may be related to the seizure, but often the cause is unknown.
