Today is Overdose Awareness Day 💜

Overdose can affect anyone, anywhere — but together, we can help save lives through awareness, compassion, and action.

Knowing the signs of an overdose and having Naloxone (Narcan) on hand can make all the difference in an emergency. Naloxone is safe, easy to use, and reverses an opioid overdose.

For Naloxone distribution, contact District 4’s Opioid Public Health Analyst, LeTasha Powers, at [email protected]. Naloxone is provided after completing the appropriate training. Naloxone is also available over the counter at many local pharmacies.
________
Hoy es el dia Concientización sobre la Sobredosis 💜

Una sobredosis puede afectar a cualquier persona, en cualquier lugar; pero juntos podemos ayudar a salvar vidas mediante la concientización, la compasión y la acción.

Conocer los signos de una sobredosis y tener a mano naloxona (Narcan) puede marcar la diferencia en una emergencia. La naloxona es segura, fácil de usar y revierte una sobredosis de opioides.

Para la distribución de naloxona, comuníquese con LeTasha Powers, analista de salud pública sobre opioides del Distrito 4, en [email protected]. La naloxona se proporciona tras completar la capacitación correspondiente. También está disponible sin receta en muchas farmacias locales.

August is Children's Eye Health and Safety Month! 👁️

Did you know 1 in 4 school-age children has a vision problem that can affect learning? Kids often don't know they aren't seeing clearly.

Before homework and sports take over, get their eyes checked. Look for signs like squinting, headaches, or sitting too close to screens.

District 4 Public Health offers vision screenings and referrals at our county health departments to help your child see their brightest future.

Schedule a screening today — their eyes will thank you!
_______
¡Agosto es el Mes de la Salud y Seguridad Ocular Infantil! 👁️

¿Sabía que 1 de cada 4 niños en edad escolar tiene un problema de visión que puede afectar su aprendizaje? A menudo, los niños no se dan cuenta de que no ven con claridad.

Antes de que las tareas escolares y los deportes ocupen todo su tiempo, haga que les revisen la vista. Preste atención a señales como entrecerrar los ojos, dolores de cabeza o sentarse demasiado cerca de las pantallas.

District 4 Public Health ofrece exámenes de la vista y derivaciones en los departamentos de salud de nuestro condado para ayudar a que su hijo vea un futuro brillante.

Programe un examen hoy mismo: ¡sus ojos se lo agradecerán!

Worried about your child's shots? Try these tips to make it less stressful:

-Before: Be honest and calm — say "quick pinch" not "pain."
-During: Bring their favorite toy or blanket, distract with a song or story, and for little ones — breastfeeding or a sweet drink can help.
-After: Cuddles, swaddling, and soft whispers go a long way.

Mild fussiness or soreness after vaccines is normal and goes away quickly.

District 4 Public Health is here to make vaccine visits easier for you and your little one. ❤️
______
¿Le preocupan las vacunas de su hijo? Pruebe estos consejos para que el momento sea menos estresante:

Antes: Sea sincero y mantenga la calma; diga "un pinchacito rápido" en lugar de "dolor".
Durante: Lleve su juguete o manta favorita y distráigalo con una canción o un cuento; en el caso de los más pequeños, la lactancia materna o una bebida dulce pueden ayudar.
Después: Los abrazos, envolverlo (arrullarlo) y hablarle suavemente ayudan mucho.

Es normal que el niño esté un poco irritable o sienta molestias tras las vacunas, pero esto desaparece rápidamente.

District 4 Public Health está aquí para facilitar las visitas de vacunación tanto para usted como para su pequeño. ❤️
