September is National Infant Mortality Awareness Month and SIDS Awareness Month. In Missouri, SIDS, is one of the leading causes of infant death—but safe sleep practices can help reduce the risk.

Remember the ABCs of Safe Sleep and participate in the Challenge:
Alone – No blankets, pillows, toys, or bumpers.
Back – Always place babies on their backs for every sleep.
Crib – Use a firm, flat mattress in a safety-approved crib, bassinet, or play yard.

Need a safe place for your baby to sleep? The Safe Cribs for Missouri Program provides a free portable crib and safe sleep education to eligible Missouri families who don't have a crib or the means to obtain one. For more information about this program call the Cole County Health Department at (573) 636-2181.

With the weather getting warmer, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services wants you to be aware and protect yourself from ticks! Ticks like to hang out in the shade of long, shaggy grass. Keeping your yard mowed, and carefully checking yourself for ticks afterwards, can lower your chances of being bitten and possibly becoming ill.

Hepatitis can affect anyone, but many people living with hepatitis don't know they have it. Early detection and treatment can prevent serious liver disease and save lives.
This World Hepatitis Day, take a moment to learn the facts about hepatitis, know your risk factors, get tested if recommended, stay up to date on hepatitis vaccinations, and talk to your healthcare provider about prevention and treatment options.
