❣️Take a stress reducing walk.
❣️Check and know your numbers for cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure.
❣️Try to get a better night of sleep.
❣️If you are prescribed medications, take them.

New baby in the house? Even if you can't see them, those tiny teeth are there! Make sure to take care of them from the start!
🪥Wipe the gums twice a day with a soft, clean cloth—in the morning after the first feeding and right before bed. That helps wipe away bacteria and sugars that can cause cavities.
🪥Once the first tooth comes in, start brushing baby's teeth twice a day with a smear (rice-grain sized) amount of toothpaste.
🪥Take your baby to the dentist by her first birthday. It's the best way to spot signs of problems early. If you don't have a dentist, ask your your health care provider to check out your baby's mouth and help you find one.
Good Neighbor dental clinics see patients from toddlers to seniors! Give us a call at (402) 562-7500 in Columbus, and (402) 721-0951 in Fremont.

...Localized Threat for Ice Jam Flooding Continues Along the Platte and Loup River Systems Through at Least Wednesday...

Unseasonably-warm temperatures will continue to promote steady ice melt and ice movement along the Platte, North Loup, Middle Loup, South Loup and Loup Rivers in central and south central Nebraska over the next few days. This could result in the continued formation of localized ice jams. Should any ice jams happen to develop, water levels could fluctuate as much as 1 to 3 feet in a short time, causing flooding with little, if any notice. This is especially true for known, ice jam prone locations.

The flood watch for our area has been extended to Tuesday, Feb. 10 at noon. Counties in the watch include Butler, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington. Antelope, Colfax, Cuming, Madison, Pierce, Platte and Stanton.

The formation of an ice jam could result in sudden rises of water, leading to a rapid flooding situation. Ice jams can cause water level fluctuations of 1 to 3 feet over a very short time period and without much notice.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

Teens often think some behaviors, like teasing and name-calling, are a "normal" part of a relationship. However, these behaviors can become abusive and develop into serious forms of violence. Many teens do not report unhealthy behaviors because they are afraid to tell family and friends.

A Brief History of Good Neighbor...

The East Central District Health Department (ECDHD) is a state-approved district health department that provides public health services to its four-county service area of Boone, Colfax, Nance and Platte counties in Nebraska. The ECDHD was formed in 1999 as the Platte-Colfax County District Health Department and at that time only served Platte and Colfax counties.

In December of 2002, ECDHD applied for a Community Health Center grant and was awarded Community Health Center status in April of 2003. Good Neighbor Community Health Center was formed and is considered a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) in Nebraska. FQHC is a federal designation given by the Bureau of Primary Health Care at the federal Department of Health and Human Services. FQHCs are located in, or serve, a federally designated medically underserved area/population. The Federally Supported Health Centers Assistance Act of 1992 and 1995 granted medical malpractice liability protection through the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) to HRSA-supported health centers. Good Neighbor Community Health Center is an FTCA Deemed Agency.

For more than 10 years Good Neighbor Community Health Center, together with East Central District Health Department, operated out of the original site at 2282 East 32nd Ave. on the eastern edge of Columbus. By 2007, the growth in patient numbers necessitated that the original facility be expanded or replaced. The eight-year process that followed resulted in the construction of the current facility at 4321 41st. Ave.
