Bloomsday is THIS weekend! Whether you plan to walk, run, or cheer on friends and family, we want to make sure your Bloomsday fun can also remain a safe experience. Here are some things to keep in mind before heading downtown on Sunday.
April is Childhood Abuse and Neglect Awareness Month. Continuing to build a community that is responsive to the needs of families benefits everyone.
Challenge yourself to take the first step to supporting children in our community by visiting the Project Pinwheel website to learn about the issue and choose a small step you can do.
It can seem like there's a holiday for almost everything these days. We celebrate National Coffee Day, National Donut Day, and even National Yoga Day. While many of these mini holidays are a fun opportunity to connect with others over a shared love of food or activities, some days can do more harm than good and affect your physical health and mental well-being.
April 4-10 is National Public Health Week! This means we’re celebrating all the efforts that go into keeping our community healthy. Everyday activities like eating at a restaurant, going swimming, or attending school are safe because of public health measures. If you’re not sure how much public health impacts you, keep reading to see how many ways you’ve been protected by Spokane Regional Health District’s (SRHD) public health programs.
If you’re ready for some spring cleaning, remember to add these to your list for better health!
Women’s History Month is the perfect time to look at contributions made by women to the field of public health. Women have played an important role in bettering the lives of others, whether through important vaccines, critical research, or advocating for public health measures in their community. These are just a few of the women who have played a critical role in public health throughout history, or shall we say herstory.
