🚭 Today is the Great American Smokeout — and we’re here to remind you: quitting to***co isn’t easy, but it is possible. And you don’t have to do it alone.

In rural communities like Dawson County, quitting can come with even more barriers: fewer resources, longer drives to access care, and limited support groups. But through the To***co Use Prevention Program at Dawson County Health Department, we’re working to change that — one conversation, one toolkit, one to***co-free future at a time.

Here’s how we’re getting involved:
🔹 Supporting to***co-free policies in our schools and communities
🔹 Educating youth about the dangers of va**ng and ni****ne addiction
🔹 Providing access to free quit resources and cessation programs
🔹 Advocating for healthy environments where everyone can breathe easier

Because the power of rural means showing up for each other — and building healthier communities together.

Today we celebrate The Nurturing Tree — a shining example of the power of rural.

In Dawson County, families are supported from day one. The Nurturing Tree offers parenting classes, a free resource library, and weekly parent-child groups that foster connection, learning, and school readiness — all at no cost to families.

Whether it’s Crafty Tuesday, Mix & Measure, or welcoming local speakers to share with young families, The Nurturing Tree proves that rural care is creative, community-driven, and deeply personal.

Because when rural communities invest in their youngest members, everyone grows stronger.

If this doesn’t show the power of rural — what does?

In Dawson County, we don’t wait around for change. We build it — together.

The newly formed Dawson County Mental Health Coalition is a powerful example of what’s possible when rural communities come together. Created to address the mental health needs of our county, the coalition brings together residents, service providers, and leaders to listen, collaborate, and create real solutions.

By reducing barriers to care, increasing access to support, and centering the voices of local people, the coalition is building a healthier, more connected Dawson County — one meeting at a time.

This is what rural strength looks like. And it’s only the beginning.

To get involved in the coalition or learn more, contact Taylor Mitchell at 406-345-4116

Follow along as we highlight the real health topics that matter most to us right here in Dawson County.

💭 Think Before You V**e

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. — and it’s not just a smoker’s disease anymore.

Va**ng exposes your lungs to harmful chemicals, metals, and ultrafine particles that can damage lung tissue and increase cancer risk. It’s not harmless. It’s not just v***r.

This Lung Cancer Awareness Month, think before you inhale.

🧡 World Kindness Day 🧡

Kindness isn’t just good for the soul — it’s good for your health, too.

Studies show that being kind can lower stress, reduce blood pressure, and boost your mood.

Today’s a great day to check in on a friend, smile at a stranger, or lend a hand.

✨ Little acts. Big impact.

🚨 Urgent Health Advisory for Parents & Caregivers
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are investigating a multi-state outbreak of infant botulism linked to the consumption of ByHeart Whole Nutrition powdered infant formula.

Key facts:

At least 15 infants across 12 states have been hospitalized with suspected or confirmed infant botulism and were reported to have consumed ByHeart formula.

On November 11, 2025, ByHeart expanded its recall to all lots and all sizes of its “Whole Nutrition Infant Formula” (cans + single-serve sticks).

Infant botulism is rare but very serious. Initial signs can include constipation, trouble feeding, weak sucking/swallowing, decreased head control, loss of facial expression, and in severe cases respiratory difficulty.

What you should do immediately if you have ByHeart formula at home:

Stop using it immediately. Discontinue feeding your baby anything from the ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula line.

Clean all items and surfaces in contact with the formula thoroughly (hot soapy water or dishwasher).

Monitor your baby carefully for any of the symptoms above — even if they seem fine now. Symptoms can take weeks to appear.

If your baby has consumed this formula and is showing any of these symptoms, contact your pediatrician or go to an emergency department immediately. Time is critical in treating infant botulism.

Why this matters:
Though the brand accounts for only about 1% of infant formula sales in the U.S., ByHeart is disproportionately represented in this outbreak of infant botulism based on the data so far.

Investigations are ongoing to determine how the contamination occurred. No other formula brands have been implicated at this time.

Please share this post to help spread awareness—especially those with infants under 6 months old who are vulnerable.

🩺 November is Diabetes Awareness Month

Let’s talk numbers, symptoms — and how to take action.

👉 1 in 3 American adults has prediabetes
👉 Over 8 million people don’t even know they have it
👉 In Montana, over 76,000 people are living with diabetes — and rural communities are at greater risk due to limited access to care

🚨 Common warning signs of diabetes include:

🔹 Fatigue
🔹 Increased thirst
🔹 Blurry vision
🔹 Frequent urination
🔹 Unexplained weight changes

The good news? Type 2 diabetes is often preventable. Start with small changes — move your body, eat balanced meals, and manage your stress.
