STI Awareness Week is a reminder that your health matters, no shame, no judgment, just care. 💙

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are more common than many people realize, and they can affect anyone. When left untreated, STIs can lead to serious health complications like infertility, chronic pain, and increased risk of other infections. The good news? Many STIs are preventable, treatable, and manageable, especially when caught early.

Here’s why getting tested is so important:
• Many STIs have little to no symptoms, you can have one and not even know it
• Early detection helps prevent long-term health issues
• Testing protects not just you, but your partners and your community
• Taking care of your sexual health is a normal and responsible part of life

We also understand that barriers like cost, lack of insurance, or transportation can make it hard to get tested. That’s why we’re here to help.

📍 FREE STI Testing & Treatment Event
🗓 Friday, April 24
⏰ 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📌 CVS in Leavenworth

No insurance? No problem. No appointment? No problem. Just show up, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s normalize testing, reduce stigma, and take control of our health, together. 💪

This past Friday, our team had the opportunity to present to nurses from school districts across Leavenworth County. We truly value this annual meeting as a chance to share updated information, strengthen collaboration, and continue working together to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of our students remain a top priority.

A special thank you to all of the school nurses who attended and actively participated, we appreciate all that you do each day to support our community’s children!

We’d also like to recognize our staff presenters for their dedication and expertise: PIO and PHEP Coordinator Brianna, Communicable Disease Nurse Jennifer, MCH Coordinator Tiffany, Social Worker Heather, and Deputy Director Katie. Your commitment to public health and partnership makes a difference!
