Had a Busyhead lately? Same. Just because it is the End of August doesn’t mean Noah Kahan’s struggles have to become your own. Don’t create your own Downfall! Unless you were advised by your healthcare provider to stop taking your medicine, you better be Willing and Able to take it tomorrow (just like you did today)!

On International Overdose Awareness Day (August 31), we recognize the lasting impact overdose leaves on families and communities across Missouri and beyond. For 25 years, this day has brought people together to raise awareness, reduce risk, share prevention methods, and support efforts that save lives.

Together, we can build a future where fewer lives are lost and there are more opportunities for recovery. Visit https://www.overdoseday.com/ for more information.

Join us in taking time to honor the memories of the lives lost to overdose. Every overdose death leaves behind family members, friends, and communities who continue to carry the weight of that loss. As we remember those loved ones, we also reaffirm our commitment to prevention, support, and recovery efforts that can save lives.

Missouri, we need to talk about measles.
We’ve been healthy long enough to forget how devastating this disease really is, but measles hasn’t forgotten us.

Measles is more than "just a rash." It also isn't a simple childhood illness. Measles can cause pneumonia, brain swelling, hospitalization and even death.

Missouri’s vaccination rate is too low to protect our kids. We’re below the 95% needed for herd immunity, which means outbreaks can spread fast in our communities. One measles case can infect 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people, and the virus can hang in the air for up to two hours after someone coughs or sneezes.

Two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine give 97% lifetime protection. Outbreaks are actively happening across the country. If you are not already protected, it's not too late to vaccinate!

We can stop measles. We can protect our kids and our communities.
But we have to act now.

🔁 Please share this post. Tag a friend. Help Missouri stay measles‑free.

After Rita danced her heart out during Senior Day at the Missouri State Fair, we asked her a few questions. We learned that she loves the fair for the same reasons you probably do, too.

Everybody has fun at the fair! 🎡🎟️🎠🎪

National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day (August 21) recognizes families, friends, and communities impacted by fentanyl overdose. Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid that can be found in counterfeit pills and other substances, often without a person's knowledge.

Learn the dangers of fentanyl, recognize the signs of an overdose, and stay safe with fentanyl test strips. Promote resources on emergency response and explore prevention efforts today.

Libraries, parks, community centers, and other public spaces play an important role in connecting people with resources that can save lives.

Explore the Community Toolkit for shareable materials to spread awareness about overdose prevention. These resources will educate the public about overdose risks, prevention strategies, and what to do if someone experiences an overdose emergency.
