Want to prevent mold? Start by controlling moisture. 💧

Mold can’t grow without moisture, and that means the best way to stop it is to dry things out fast.

Our top tips to prevent mold in your home:
✔️ Fix leaks as soon as you spot them.
✔️ Dry out wet areas within 24-48 hours after flooding or spills.
✔️ Use a dehumidifier in damp spaces like basements.
✔️ Keep indoor humidity below 60%.
✔️ Vent bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas properly.
✔️ Maintain gutters and downspouts.

Flood season makes mold more likely, but you can stay ahead of it with the right steps.

🚨 Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless, and deadly. But it’s preventable.

CO exposures happen year-round in Illinois, often in homes when people are using furnaces, appliances, fireplaces, generators, or vehicles in garages.

In 2024 alone, Illinois fire departments responded to 9,860 carbon monoxide-related calls.

Protect yourself and your family:
✔ Install CO alarms on every level of your home and near sleeping areas
✔ Test alarms monthly and check expiration dates
✔ Replace old or broken units
✔ Schedule annual furnace and appliance inspections
✔ Never run vehicles or generators in enclosed spaces

If your CO alarm sounds or you feel sick (headache, dizziness, nausea), get outside immediately and call 911.

⚠️ Seek medical care right away if your baby has difficulty breathing, bluish lips/skin, or signs of dehydration.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month 💙

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States—but it is also one of the most preventable and treatable when caught early.

Screening can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before cancer develops. Most adults should begin screening at age 45, or earlier if they have certain risk factors.

Know the signs and symptoms:
• Changes in bowel habits
• Blood in the stool
• Abdominal pain or cramping
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue or weakness

Even if you feel healthy, screening saves lives.

Talk to your healthcare provider about the screening option that’s right for you.
