January is Social Determinants of Health Month!

Where we live, learn, work, and play all play a role in our health. Things like housing, access to food, transportation, education, and social connections can impact health outcomes—especially in rural Northern Michigan.

This month, we’re highlighting how addressing social determinants of health helps build healthier, stronger communities across our region. When basic needs are met, people are better able to thrive.

Have you tested your home for radon yet? 🏠 Pick up your radon test kit by Friday for just $1.00 and take an easy step toward a healthier home.

Radon gas comes from the breakdown of uranium, thorium, and radium in the soil beneath homes and buildings. It rises through the ground and can enter indoor spaces through small cracks in foundations, floors, or walls. Once inside, radon can build up to harmful levels. Long-term exposure to elevated radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., after smoking.

You can pick up a test kit at the Environmental Health Office located at 2650 LaFranier Road in Traverse City. The office is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but closed daily from noon to 12:30 PM. After the promotion ends, the GTCHD will continue to provide radon test kits to residents year-round for $15.00.
