In recognition of National Breastfeeding Month, we want to celebrate the Northeast Health District’s lactation staff members! Our lactation staff serves mothers as they care for their infants, helping moms navigate breastfeeding basics while also educating them on proper techniques, how often to breastfeed, and more. In turn, this experience also helps mothers develop strong bonds with their children. Our staff’s dedication and support make a difference for families throughout our district and we appreciate everything they do!

Help us show appreciation and gratitude for our wonderful staff members!

To protect your health when temperatures are high, remember to stay cool, stay hydrated and stay informed.

STAY COOL: Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing. Stay in an air-conditioned place.

STAY HYDRATED: Drink plenty of water even before you are thirsty. Don’t wait until you are already thirsty. Avoid sugary or alcoholic beverages which can cause you to lose even more body fluid.

STAY INFORMED: Prepare for extreme heat ahead of time by keeping an eye on local weather forecasts.

Check on each other at least twice a day while working in extreme heat. Heat-related illness can cause confusion or loss of consciousness.
