Smiles all around at the Reardan Community Health Fair!

A special thank-you to our generous partners, Wilbur Family Dentistry, Odessa Dental Clinic, and the Arcora Foundation for donating the oral health resources we shared at this and future events!

It’s not always easy to stand up to peer pressure. That’s why it’s important to discuss it before it happens, so you and your child can have a plan in place. Some good things to include in the plan:

🆘 Send a signal:
Agree on a code that can be sent if a child needs to be picked up ASAP.
🤷 Pass the blame:
Encourage the child to use phrases like, “I’d be grounded for life if my parents found out.”

Don’t think your child won’t succumb to peer pressure. Take steps today to prevent a substance use disorder tomorrow.

Lead poisoning is serious and often has no symptoms.

Children living in or visiting homes built before 1978, especially those under repair, may be at risk. Lead can also be found in dust, soil, old paint, pottery, water, and even imported products or cosmetics.

A simple blood test is the only way to know. Ask your child’s doctor about lead testing, especially if you're unsure. Kids on Apple Health (Medicaid) can get tested for free.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Washington State, but early detection saves lives.

At Lincoln County Public Health, we encourage everyone to:
✔️ Know your risk
✔️ Talk to your healthcare provider
✔️ Get regular screenings

If you’re uninsured or underinsured, you may qualify for free or low-cost mammograms through the Washington Breast, Cervical, and Colon Health Program (BCCHP).
