As we close out National Public Health Week, we want to take a moment to recognize the people who make this work possible every single day. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

Public health doesnโ€™t happen without people. Behind every service, every clinic, every call answered, and every community connection is a team that shows up, works hard, and cares deeply about Iredell County.

That work takes shape in so many ways across our organization.

Itโ€™s our leadership guiding the vision, and our finance and operations teams keeping everything running smoothly. โœจ

Itโ€™s our clerical staff, who are often the first friendly face or voice you encounter. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Itโ€™s our nurses, medical support staff, and lab team providing care and critical services. ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿงช

Itโ€™s our WIC staff supporting families and helping children get the healthiest start possible. ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’›

It's our care management team walking alongside families, supporting high-risk children and pregnancies and helping ensure they have the care, resources, and coordination they need ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Itโ€™s our health promotion team out in the community sharing resources and education, and our Mobile Health Unit team bringing care directly to where people are ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ’™

Finally, itโ€™s our environmental health team working behind the scenes every day to keep our environment safe and healthy ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒฟ

This work is not always easy. It takes coordination, compassion, expertise, and a whole lot of heart. And this team brings all of that and more. โค๏ธ

Weโ€™re proud of the work being done across every program and every role, and weโ€™re grateful for the people who make it happen ๐Ÿ™Œ

Public health is about community. And this is what ours looks like. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’›

April is Alcohol Awareness Month.

Alcohol use disorder isnโ€™t about willpower. Itโ€™s a medical condition that affects how the brain works and how decisions are made.

You donโ€™t have to have everything figured out to take a first step. Sometimes it starts with a simple check-in.

A quick screening is private, takes just a few minutes, and can help you better understand your relationship with alcohol.

If youโ€™ve ever wondered where you stand, this is a good place to start:

Taking care of your health includes checking in with yourself. ๐Ÿ’›

We're back with your weekly tip! ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ’ก

WIC just added tuna, and itโ€™s one of the easiest ways to put together a quick, high-protein meal at home.

This 10-minute tuna salad is simple, budget friendly, and easy to customize with ingredients you may already have on hand. Perfect for busy days, quick lunches, or something you can throw together without a lot of prep.

Try it on a sandwich, with crackers, or as a veggie dip ๐Ÿฅช๐Ÿฅ•

National Public Health Week is here, and itโ€™s all about the people, places, and everyday moments that shape health in our community.

Right here in Iredell County, public health is shaped by the choices we make every day and how we show up for each other. From families to neighbors to local partners, we all play a role in what happens next. ๐Ÿก

Public health isnโ€™t something done to you. Itโ€™s something built with you. ๐Ÿ’›

YOU help create it. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using โ€œRelaxing Babyโ€ Swim Floats Immediately Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Drowning; One Child Death Reported

The โ€œRelaxing Babyโ€ Swim Floats can flip over and/or submerge the occupant underwater, posing a risk of drowning to infants and toddlers.

CPSC is aware of a drowning death of a two-year-old child who was using the hazardous floats.

Wu He/Relaxing Baby, of China, the seller, has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for a recall.

CPSC urges consumers to puncture the plastic in any location where the product can inflate and dispose of the swim float immediately. Do not sell or give away these hazardous swim floats.
