Colorectal Cancer Awareness

Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That is why getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important.

Dengue

Use insect repellent, wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and control mosquitoes inside and outside your home.

Flood Safety Tips

Each year, more deaths occur because of flooding than any other hazard related to thunderstorms. The most common flood deaths occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous floodwater.

Know Your Kidney Health

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which the kidneys become damaged over time and cannot filter blood as well as they should. Diabetes is a leading cause of CKD, which often causes no symptoms until your kidneys are badly damaged.

Blood Clot Awareness

In the United States, an estimated 900,000 people are affected by a blood clot every year, yet they are often underdiagnosed. It’s important to raise awareness about blood clots because they are serious medical conditions that can cause illness, disability, and even death.

Know Your COVID-19 Community Level


COVID-19 Community Levels are a new tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. 


Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area.
