It's National Infant Immunization Week.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children keep up to date on their childhood vaccinations and well-child visits. This helps children stay healthy for school, childcare, and beyond.

Together, we can protect children, families, and communities through regular, routine vaccination. Good Neighbor offers the Vaccines for Children program (VFC). VFC covers the cost of all recommended vaccines for children birth to 18 years of age who are uninsured, under-insured, or have Medicaid.

April is Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Awareness Month.
DYK? Many STIs have no symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms, so it is possible to have an infection and not know it. Getting an STI test is important if you are having s*x. All STIs are treatable with medicine and some are curable entirely.

Talk to your healthcare provider about how you can prevent and treat STIs. Good Neighbor clinics offer confidential testing for all STI/STDs, including HIV. Learn more at https://goodneighborcommunityhealthcenter.com/our-services/reproductive-health-final.html

April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month.
Oral cancers are primarily diagnosed in older adults, particularly those with a history of to***co and alcohol use. To***co use includes smoking products such as ci******es and pipes, and smokeless products like chewing to***co and betel nut.

To help prevent cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx, limit alcohol and do not use to***co. Visit your doctor and dentist regularly. Cancers detected at earlier stages have better survival rates.

Symptoms of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx can include:
--A sore that does not heal.
--Swelling or unusual bleeding.
--Difficulty performing daily functions like breathing, speaking, chewing, or swallowing food.
--Pain in the mouth or throat that won't go away.

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.
