RIP Dolly Parton. The more I read about her, the sadder I become. She was awesome. One of the awesome things she did (and it continues on) is to give free books to children 0-5 years of age. You can sign up for free books by clicking below. Not all zip codes are eligible, but I checked and 89119 is eligible.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free books to children from birth until they begin school in participating areas.

You can get vaccinated against influenza until June 30, 2025. On July 1, 2025, all flu vaccine will expire. If you have not been vaccinated against influenza this season, it is a good idea to get the flu shot now. It may even protect you if flu season comes early, for example, in October 2025.

Twelve more pediatric flu deaths bring the 2024-’25 season total to 216, topping last year’s non-pandemic total of 207.

The federal government is still giving out free COVID test kits! We aren't seeing much COVID right now but it might be nice to have a test kit in the house if you need it in the future.

COVID-19 testing can help you know if you have COVID-19 so you can decide what to do next, like getting treatment to reduce your risk of severe illness and taking steps to lower your chances of spreading the virus to others.

We just received flu shots for this season! We do not have any flu nose spray. Call us now and schedule a flu shot only appointment! Beat the rush before October. We have plenty of available flu only appointments right now. We don't have that many in October.

Despite evidence that the HPV vaccine is safe, effective and can help prevent cancer, HPV vaccination rates in the U.S. remain “suboptimal,” say experts.
