Dads, this one’s for you. 💜

You play a powerful role in keeping your baby safe—especially when it comes to sleep.

✔️ Put baby on their back—every nap, every night
✔️ Keep baby close, but in their own safe sleep space
✔️ Choose a firm, flat surface with nothing extra in the crib

These simple steps can help reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths, including SIDS.

Strong dads make safe choices. Let’s protect our littlest ones—together. 💪👶

💉 Did you know? We offer a safe and convenient Sharps Drop-Off Container right here at your local health department!

This service helps protect our community by providing a proper way to dispose of used needles, syringes, and other sharps—keeping them out of the trash and reducing the risk of injury to others.

⚠️ Important Reminder:
Please do NOT place loose or bare needles directly into the drop box. All sharps must be placed in a puncture-resistant plastic container (like a used laundry detergent bottle) to ensure safety for everyone.

✅ Good news! We also offer personal sharps containers at no cost to community members. Stop by and pick one up to make safe disposal even easier.

Let’s work together to keep our community safe, clean, and healthy! 💙

Getting healthier doesn’t have to mean running marathons or spending hours in the gym.

Sometimes it starts with something as simple as:

• Taking a short walk
• Drinking more water
• Moving your body for 10 minutes

Small steps add up.

This spring, the Mercer County Health Department is launching a program designed to make healthy habits easier for everyone.

👀 More details coming soon.

Mercer County deserves every opportunity to be healthy.

Right now:
• Our adult physical inactivity rate is slightly higher than the Kentucky average.
• Reported access to exercise opportunities is lower than both state and national averages.

That doesn’t define us — it shows where we can grow.

This spring, we’re creating something built for Mercer County.
No gym. No equipment. No experience required.

Just small steps. Together.

💚 Stay tuned for Stand Up Mercer County.
