The NSHD is guided in its work by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s 10 Essential Public Health Services. These services codify the responsibilities of public health agencies in the United States to promote and protect the health of the public to prevent disease and injury. All of the NSHD’s program
and service areas incorporate the essential public health services. The NSHD has two
offices, in Brown Deer and Shorewood, and residents can utilize services at either location, as well as at routinely scheduled community-based clinics. The NSHD is advised by a Board of Health with representatives from each of the seven
communities in the North Shore, as well as a medical advisor who is on staff. The Village of Brown Deer serves as the fiscal and administrative agent for the NSHD.

To keep your holidays safe and happy, put safety first when buying toys & other gifts!
Here are some simple steps to take to help you choose the safest gift options:
• Check for any recalls on toys and products at www.recalls.gov to ensure you aren’t gifting a recalled item.
• Look for “ASTM” on labels. Products that have “ASTM” have met national safety standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials.
• Consider the intended child's age, abilities, skills, and interest level when selecting toys. Look for sturdy construction, such as tightly secured eyes, noses, and other potential small parts.
• Choose washable toys, as many stuffed toys can trigger asthma and allergy attacks.
• Avoid toys with sharp edges and points for children under 8.
• Check to ensure the toy battery compartment is secure and cannot be opened by a child.
Depending on the age of the child, here are some things to avoid: magnets, small parts, projectile toys, & imported toys. Learn more: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/injury-prevention/toysafety.htm
