Did you know? In rural collisions between passenger vehicles and farm equipment, those in the passenger vehicles are more than five times as likely to be injured as the farm equipment operator.
Help keep everyone safe by doing your part to prevent rural roadway collisions! Keep an eye out for slow moving vehicle emblems, be patient traveling behind farm equipment and maintain a safe distance.

Each year countries around the world take a day to appreciate our home, planet Earth, and reminds us all that environmental health and human health are inextricably linked.
Protecting the environment is a fundamental preventative health measure.

Family planning is about being able to have a family on your terms, whether that means preventing pregnancy or achieving it.

In addition to contraceptive and STI care, Title X clinics are able to offer basic fertility services like preconception counseling and fertility education.

This week we recognize the millions of people who face infertility because we believe everyone should have the support they need to grow their family.

We see you, we support you, and we want you to know you are not alone on this journey.

In our latest Substack, we partnered with the American Cleaning Institute to break down the science around microplastics that your feed keeps getting wrong.

PVA — the water-soluble film in laundry and dishwasher pods — doesn't qualify as a microplastic because it fully dissolves in water. So why is it all over your feed as an environmental threat? We dig into the specific studies driving the fear, why they haven't held up under scrutiny, and how to tell the difference between a legitimate safety concern and a brand cashing in on your anxiety.
