Keeping kids safe on the road is a top priority, and Clay County Public Health is here to help through car seat safety checks as part of our National Public Health Week spotlight series!

Car seat safety checks ensure that children are properly secured based on their age, height, and weight. The public health team provides hands-on guidance to help caregivers correctly install car seats, check for proper fit, and answer any questions to give families confidence every time they hit the road. For questions or to schedule a Car Seat Check, call Clay County Public Health at 712-264-6380.

This simple step can make a life-saving difference, and having a trained professional double-check your car seat offers added peace of mind for parents and caregivers.

Thank you to the Clay County Public Health team for helping keep our youngest passengers safe. Stay tuned as we continue to highlight more services that support the health and safety of our community! đź‘Ź

A heartfelt thank you to the family of Beatrix “Trix” Keene for their generous and meaningful gift. ❤️

Pictured is her daughter, Val Moermond, presenting $1,960 to Avera of Spencer Hospital Hospice on behalf of her family in loving memory of their Mom. Trix was truly a special person, and one of her final wishes was to give back—hoping to support other hospice patients and their families during life’s most difficult moments, just as she felt so deeply cared for in her own final days.

We are incredibly grateful to this wonderful family for honoring Trix’s legacy in such a compassionate way and for helping bring comfort and support to others when it’s needed most.
