Did you know bats are one of the main carriers of rabies in Oklahoma?

People and pets get rabies mainly from bites by infected animals, but there are several ways to prevent this. If you see a bat, do not touch it or pick it up.

Rabies is seen in skunks and in smaller numbers in horses, cattle, cats, dogs and other mammals. The OSDH Epidemiologist-on-Call is available 24/7 regarding rabies recommendations specific to animal bites at (405) 426-8710.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or another dementia becomes an around-the-clock job—it can be all-encompassing and all-consuming.

During November, we are encouraging people to make a concerted effort to lend a hand in appreciation for all they do. Providing help and support to caregivers can be easier than most people think. Even little acts can make a big difference.

The final weeks of pregnancy are important for a baby’s development, and those born premature are at higher risk for long-term health issues. But moms who give birth prematurely also produce breastmilk that is high in antibodies to help fight infection and specifically designed to meet their preemie baby’s increased needs. WIC has breastfeeding professionals on staff to help you every step of the way and can provide breast pumps to meet your needs.
