Together, we can help promote strong families, strong kids, and strong communities.

What is Public Health? A Quick Look Back 👇

Public health has shaped the way we live for more than 150 years — often in ways we don’t even notice.
✔️ Clean drinking water systems helped stop deadly cholera outbreaks in the 1800s
✔️ Vaccines helped eliminate smallpox and reduce many childhood diseases
✔️ Food safety inspections improved restaurant and grocery safety
✔️ Seatbelt laws and car seat guidance helped prevent injuries
✔️ Smoking education reduced tobacco-related illness
✔️ Prenatal care and safe sleep education help protect infants today

Public health works behind the scenes to prevent illness, promote healthy lifestyles, and protect our community.

From immunizations and WIC to environmental health and school-based services — public health is happening every day in Marquette County.

🍳 The Power to Cook
This week for National Nutrition Month, we’re celebrating something simple but powerful—cooking at home.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or time-consuming. Small skills can make a big difference for families, like:
• Trying a new way to use beans
• Making a quick yogurt breakfast
• Using frozen veggies for easy meals
• Creating simple, budget-friendly dinners

When families build confidence in the kitchen, they gain the power to make healthy choices that last. 💚

✨ Looking for inspiration? Start with simple, affordable ingredients you already have at home—or try this easy idea:
