September is Infant Mortality Awareness Month. TLCHD is partnering with Toledo-Lucas County Getting to 1 and the Health Council of Northwest Ohio (HCNO) to help spread the word!

Infant mortality means losing a baby before their first birthday.

Each number represents a baby, a family, and a loss felt by our community. Lucas County’s three-year average infant mortality rate is 9.7 per 1,000 infants, higher than both the Ohio and national averages.

Promenade Park was filled with chalk, memories and stories as our community came together for the 8th annual Chalk the Walk in downtown Toledo.

Vendors, partners, speakers and community members joined together to honor the lives of loved ones lost to overdose and remember the impact they made on the people and community around them.

From heartfelt messages and drawings to the names shared during the remembrance ceremony, every mark on the pavement told a story and served as a reminder that every life matters.

Thank you to our partners with the Lucas County Substance Use Coalition for hosting this meaningful event alongside us, and to everyone who came out, shared a memory or submitted a name to be remembered. NOSS/Harm Reduction
