Just because you can buy it without a prescription doesn’t mean it’s harmless. 💊

Over the counter medications are safe when used correctly, but misuse can lead to serious health risks, especially for children and older adults.

Always:
✔ Read the label
✔ Follow dosing instructions
✔ Check for interactions
✔ Store medications out of reach

Small steps make a big difference in medication safety.

❄️ Winter Weather Driving Safety Reminder

Winter roads in central Nebraska can change quickly — blowing snow, icy bridges, and reduced visibility create dangerous conditions fast.

Before you head out:

🚗 Slow down and increase following distance
❄️ Watch for black ice on bridges and overpasses
💡 Use headlights during low visibility
🧤 Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle
📱 Check road and weather conditions before traveling

Rural roads may not be cleared as quickly, and open areas can create drifting snow. Give yourself extra time and avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.

Safe driving protects not only you, but families across the nine counties we serve.

Arrive safely. Every trip. Every time.

🏠 Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can enter homes through cracks in the foundation. You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it but long term exposure can increase your risk of lung cancer.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and the leading cause among people who have never smoked.

The only way to know your home’s radon level is to test. Testing is simple and affordable, and mitigation systems can reduce high levels if needed.

Protect your lungs. Protect your home. Test for radon. 💙

For more information about testing in our area, contact our office or visit epa.gov/radon.
