Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act, and move!

If you're concerned that your child isn't meeting their developmental milestones, Tioga County Public Health's Free Child Find program can screen for developmental delays and disabilities.

⚠️ Please note that tonight's Overdose Awareness Vigil has been canceled. ⚠️

Due to the chance of rain and heavy storms coming through this afternoon and evening, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tonight's Tioga County Overdose Awareness Vigil.

At this time, no rain date has been scheduled.

This vigil holds deep meaning for our coalition. It is a time for our community to come together, honor the lives lost to overdose, and acknowledge the ongoing impact of substance use on families and loved ones. Although we cannot gather tonight, our commitment to remembering those we have lost—and supporting those who continue to be affected—remains unwavering.
