Holiday Closure Reminder!

Dent County Health Center will be closed November 27th & 28th so our team can enjoy time with loved ones (and eat an unreasonable amount of mac and cheese, thank you Tini for the recipe).

We’ll be back open on December 1st—refreshed, recharged, and probably still full.

While we’re away… tell us in the comments: What Thanksgiving food are you most excited for this year? What are you in charge of this year?

Stay warm, stay safe, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

• Hold something in one hand while using the other. For example, holding a container and removing the lid.

• Try to use switches, k***s or buttons on a toy.

• Play with more than one toy at a time, like putting food on a toy plate.

Friendly reminder that Joan's retirement party is THIS WEEK!
While I still don't understand how she is able to retire at the ripe young age of 45... I did say I would bust out a disco ball from somewhere.
Swing by the health center from 3 to 4PM this Wednesday November 26th, to help us send her off.

Edit: congrats Ruthy Cannon!
Edit #2 to add weight: 19.8lbs

Thank you to all who participated in our Turkey Giveaway! We are grateful for you all and we hope to offer another giveaway soon!

I did not have “Take a selfie with a turkey” on my agenda today, but here we are.
We are doing not one but TWO turkey giveaways! This is post number TWO.
Comment below your best guess on the turkey’s weight. Closest guess by THIS SUNDAY (November 23rd,2025) at 11:59 PM will get to bring this bad boy home Monday morning to start thawing out in time for Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving, or just to eat a turkey on any day of your choosing).
