A winter storm is coming this weekend. Stay safe and protect your health.
❄️ Stay inside if you can.

Maternal Health Matters!

At the RCDOH, we support healthy pregnancies, safe births, and strong families. Access to quality prenatal care and postpartum support is essential for moms and babies.

Paid family leave lets parents recover, bond with their baby, and attend important medical visits without risking income or job security. The U.S. Department of Labor highlights paid leave as vital for maternal and infant health.

Let’s raise awareness and support moms in our community before, during, and after pregnancy.
