Over the next several weeks, we'll be highlighting our free prenatal and newborn care services available. From pregnancy support and newborn home visits to breastfeeding assistance, car seat safety, safe sleep education, and more, we're here to help families every step of the way.

It's #MosquitoMonday 🦟Each week, mosquitoes are collected from traps and tested for mosquito-borne diseases. If a mosquito trap tests positive or a human case of mosquito-borne illness is reported, our licensed staff may conduct targeted mosquito spraying within a one-mile radius of the positive trap or case location.
✅ Residents are always notified in advance of any scheduled spraying.
🌙 Spraying only occurs at night to avoid active resident hours and to protect honeybees, which are active during the day. Bodies of water, registered apiaries (beehives), and documented no-spray residences are not sprayed.
