So…what does an epidemiologist actually do?

They help answer questions like who is getting sick? Where are cases happening? When did they start? How are people being exposed? Why is it happening?

Then they use evidence to help stop the spread and protect the community. Think of it as detective work for public health. The next time you hear a health statistic, ask: “What does the data tell us?”

Sexual health is more than avoiding STIs. It includes consent, communication, respect, testing and feeling safe in your relationships.

Your sexual health matters. Testing, communication, consent and respect are all part of it. One simple place to start? Know your status. Many STIs don't cause symptoms, so testing may be the only way to know for sure. Talk with your healthcare provider about what testing is right for you.

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.

It is a time to come together as a community to honor lives lost, support those affected, and take action to prevent future tragedies.

Overdose is preventable, and we all have a role to play. By sharing facts, showing compassion, and speaking up against stigma, we can create a culture of care and connection.

Let’s stand together for a healthier, more informed Oklahoma.
