💙 Standing Together for Children 💙

Today, our team wore blue and planted a pinwheel garden in recognition of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

The pinwheel is a symbol of the happy, healthy childhood every child deserves. 🌱

At Foothills Health District, we are committed to supporting families, strengthening communities, and helping ensure every child grows up in a safe and nurturing environment.

Prevention starts with all of us—through awareness, support, and connection.

🤔 Do you know all the things public health does?

It’s more than you might think…

Public health is:
💉 Immunizations & clinics
🩺 Sick visits & preventative care
🧠 Mental health & substance use support
🍎 Nutrition programs like WIC
🧪 Disease tracking & outbreak response
🚑 Emergency preparedness & response
🏫 School health & community education
🚰 Environmental health & safety inspections

…and so much more.

Public health works every day—often behind the scenes—to keep our communities safe, healthy, and thriving. 💙

🌱 Spring is here… and so is gardening season! 🌼

When most people think of tetanus, they picture stepping on a rusty nail—but that’s not the full story.

🦠 Tetanus bacteria actually live in:
✔️ Soil
✔️ Dust
✔️ Manure

That means everyday activities like gardening, yard work, or even small cuts and scrapes can put you at risk.

💉 The good news? Tetanus is preventable with a simple vaccine.

👉 Adults should get a tetanus booster every 10 years
👉 Not sure if you’re up to date? Now is a great time to check!

🌿 As you get your hands in the dirt this spring, make sure you’re protected.

📞 Call us today to schedule your vaccine or ask questions: 828-287-6100

💚 Care within reach. Protection that lasts.
