🚨 ALERTA DE ESTAFA — Por favor, comparta

El Distrito 2 de Salud Pública ha sido informado sobre una estafa dirigida a negocios locales. Actualmente, la estafa ha sido reportada en el condado de White, pero los negocios de todos los condados de nuestro distrito deben estar atentos.

Varios negocios y miembros de la cámara de comercio en el condado de White han recibido llamadas telefónicas de personas que afirman representar a la cámara y solicitan patrocinios de $500 para bolsas de tela (tote bags) para el Departamento de Salud del Condado de White.

❌ Esto es una estafa.

La cámara de comercio no está solicitando patrocinios para este propósito, y el Departamento de Salud del Condado de White no está solicitando patrocinios para bolsas de tela.

Recomendamos a los negocios de todo el Distrito 2 de Salud Pública que permanezcan atentos al recibir solicitudes no solicitadas de patrocinios, donaciones o pagos.

No proporcione información de pago, bancaria, de tarjetas de crédito ni ningún otro tipo de información financiera a ninguna persona que realice esta solicitud.

Si recibe una llamada similar o no está seguro de si una solicitud es legítima, cuelgue y comuníquese directamente con la organización que la persona afirma representar utilizando un número de teléfono verificado.

🚨 SCAM ALERT — Please Share

District 2 Public Health has been made aware of a scam targeting local businesses. The scam has currently been reported in White County, but businesses throughout all counties in our district should be aware.

Businesses and chamber members in White County have received phone calls from individuals claiming to represent the chamber and requesting $500 sponsorships for tote bags for the White County Health Department.

❌ This is a scam.

The chamber is not soliciting sponsorships for this purpose, and the White County Health Department is not soliciting sponsorships for tote bags.
We encourage businesses throughout District 2 Public Health to remain vigilant when receiving unsolicited requests for sponsorships, donations, or payments.

Please do not provide payment, banking, credit card, or other financial information to anyone making this request.
If you receive a similar call or are unsure whether a request is legitimate, hang up and contact the organization being represented directly using a verified phone number. For a list of our health department numbers visit: https://phdistrict2.org/district-office-2/

📢 Please help us spread the word and keep our business communities informed and protected.

August is Breastfeeding Awareness month! 👶🏽🍼

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for about the first 6 months, while recognizing that each family’s circumstances and feeding journey are unique. After the first 6 months, continue breastfeeding, but add complementary food to your baby's diet.

Feel informed, supported, and confident on your breastfeeding journey. 💗 To access breastfeeding classes, personal consultations, breastfeeding peer counselors, and expert lactation assistance, contact the District 2 Women Infants and Children (WIC) team.

Use Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate as a guide to building balanced, nutritious meals. Aim to fill half your plate with vegetables and fruits as shown, and focus on the quality of your diet with simple substitutions. 🍅🍌

🔷 Choose water instead of sugary beverages.
🔷 Use healthy oils for cooking (such as olive oil or avocado oil), instead of butter.
🔷 Select whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread, brown rice, or whole-grain pasta.
🔷 Limit red meat and highly processed meats, such as bacon and sausage. Instead, choose fish, poultry, beans, and nuts more often.
🔷 Stay physically active to complement healthy eating.

By building one habit at a time, it's possible to make lasting change and improve your health! 💪
