Aug 17 | Life as a parent is busy enough! When you're busy helping your little one's juggle school, homework, after-school activities, childcare, play dates, and more, your to-do list can pile up quickly—and you might not know where to start.

Aug 8 | We’ve all been talking about heat a lot lately. Although our community hasn’t normally seen the extremes other parts of the country see, we are starting to see more extreme heat events.

The event revealed the need for our area to prepare for extreme heat, especially since summers are getting warmer in the Inland Northwest. Spokane Regional Health District is excited to work with Gonzaga University’s Climate Center as they help our community do just that through their Beat the Heat initiative.
