The Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program helps provide vaccines to children whose parents or guardians may not be able to afford them. This helps ensure that all children have a better chance of getting their recommended vaccinations on schedule. Vaccines available through the VFC Program are those recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). These vaccines protect babies, young children, and adolescents from 16 diseases.
Memorial Day is an incredibly special time in America’s history. This weekend, do more than barbecue. Take time to truly commemorate the meaning of the holiday and celebrate the servicemen and women who have given everything to this country.
Summer is the perfect time to show your kids that giving back can be fun. Choose an organization that has a shared interest among your family and ask about volunteer opportunities.
All work and no giving back makes for a dull workplace! Talk to your employer about already existing programs such as matching gifts or time off to volunteer.
“It is not unusual for us to meet people who haven’t heard of South Heartland District Health Department or who don’t really know what we do. While public health workers do a great job carrying out statutory authorities and the ten essential services of public health, we often work behind the scenes. Everything we do supports progress toward our vision. We Prepare, Prevent, Promote, and Protect and we work with others in our communities to assure we have conditions in which people can be healthy. We are proud of our many partnerships that help make all of our work happen. We are continuing to develop our role as community convener and chief health strategist for the four-county district to create an environment where people can be healthy."
