We want to remind all women that mammograms are key to the early detection of breast cancer. Prioritize your health through annual mammograms and health screenings. Then encourage the women in your life to schedule theirs as well.

Just like adults, children feel more comfortable and confident when they’re prepared. 💬Talk with your kids about vaccines to help normalize them and explain why they’re important. ✅🩹

Happy Nurses Week! Public Health nurses show up everyday even when there is a possibility they may get kicked or get a ruptured eardrum from screaming kids while being vaccinated. They have told stories of walking through Walmart and seeing a kid from last week who throws them a dirty look or even starts to cry. And they still choose to do this line of work.

Some of our nurses aren't in the public as much but still remain dedicated to their work of making public health a priority in Sumner County.

Nurses are amazing humans and we say THANK YOU!
