🌞 Heat is on the way, and temperatures over the next few days could bring increased heat-related health risks for many in our community. Please remember to stay hydrated, limit time outdoors during peak heat hours, and check on children, older adults, pets, and anyone who may be more sensitive to extreme temperatures.

🚗 A very important reminder: Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles — even for a few minutes. Vehicle temperatures can rise quickly and become dangerous fast. Remember: Stop. Look. Lock.

Stay safe, stay cool, and take care of one another during this stretch of hot weather! ☀️💧

They did it! 👏
Our 5th & 6th graders at the Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills just completed their very first va**ng prevention course—and they’re the FIRST group at this level to do it!

They showed up, stayed engaged, and walked away with knowledge, confidence, and a commitment to being vape-free. That’s the kind of leadership that makes a difference.

We loved every minute of working with this group and can’t wait to see what they do next! Please enjoy some of their anti-va**ng ads they created that will be hung throughout the department next week 🎨

Today is World Autism Awareness Day 💙

Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, affects millions of individuals and families worldwide. While awareness has grown, there is still work to be done to ensure equity, inclusion, and access to services.

From a public health perspective, supporting autistic individuals means:
• Improving early and equitable diagnosis
• Expanding access to supportive services
• Creating inclusive schools, workplaces, and communities

Today—and every day—we encourage you to go beyond awareness and practice acceptance and advocacy.

Together, we can build a more inclusive and healthier future for all.
