Fight the Flu

The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the most important step in preventing influenza infection. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get a seasonal flu shot.

Find a flu shot clinic near you.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Ovarian cancer is not common, but it causes more deaths than other female reproductive cancers. The sooner ovarian cancer is found and treated, the better your chance for recovery.

Understand Your Blood Pressure Reading

The only way to know if you have high blood pressure (HBP, or hypertension) is to have your blood pressure tested. Understanding your results is key to controlling high blood pressure.

College & Alcohol

Being a college freshman is a vulnerable time for teenagers. Before you drop your kids off on campus, talk with them about alcohol use and the possible consequences – including penalties for underage drinking and impaired judgement. Talking with your kids about alcohol now could prevent serious problems later.

Bullying: Learn the Signs

Bullying can be in the form of direct physical or verbal attacks or indirect coercive attacks. Cyberbullying takes place over digital devices.

Learn to recognize the signs of bullying.
