Public Notices / Press Releases

 

World Toilet Day 2024

This November, we join the global community in recognizing World Toilet Day and the importance of sanitation for creating healthy, peaceful communities. This year’s theme, "Toilets - A Place for Peace," highlights how proper sanitation impacts our well-being and environment. If you rely on a septic system, taking care of it can make a big difference for your health and community! Learn more about septic care and maintenance here: EPA's Septic Care Guide.

National Diabetes Month

November is American Diabetes Month, a great time to learn more about preventing and managing diabetes. Whether you're newly diagnosed or supporting a loved one, there are resources to help! Check out Munson Medical Center’s local programs, tips for healthy living, and information on how regular screenings can make a difference. Learn more about diabetes care and resources. 

THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUT

Each year, on the third Thursday in November, the American Cancer Society marks the day as the Great American Smokeout. BLDHD and the NMPHA are joining the American Cancer Society on this day to encourage tobacco users to quit smoking and provide them with various tools to help them take an important step towards their smoke-free journey.

Healthcare providers also have local resources that may help. The Michigan Tobacco Quitlink, 1-800-QUIT-NOW (784-8669), can offer free counseling to those who qualify. For more information about the Michigan Tobacco Quitlink visit https://michigan.quitlogix.org/en-US/.
