Preparedness doesn't happen in a silo—it happens through connection. 🤝

Last week, Staci Andrea Author from our Preparedness team represented CG Public Health and the Service Area 2 (SA2) Healthcare Coalition at the National Healthcare Coalition Preparedness Conference 2025 in Texas.

As the lead coordinators for SA2, we are constantly working to bridge the gap between healthcare systems and community safety in North Iowa. Staci spent three days strategizing with the nation's top emergency managers and even officially joined the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) Healthcare Caucus to ensure our rural perspective is heard at a national level.

Bonus: She connected with the incredible Dr. Martin (Dr.Beachgem10 ) from Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital. If you follow her, you know she’s a powerhouse of medical information.

Big congratulations to Staci for also receiving her plaque for her recent Associate Emergency Manager (AEM) achievement! We are proud to have this level of expertise serving Cerro Gordo County.

Hygiene is health. Community is power. ❤️

The EYES/P4C Coalition (Empowering Youth through Education and Support / Community Partnerships for Protecting Children) recently gathered to organize the incredible donations from Community Health Center of Mason City's Hygiene & Personal Care Drive.

Looking at this table, we don't just see shampoo, laundry pods, and soap. We see confidence, dignity, and one less barrier to learning for students in Mason City Schools.

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. When we strengthen families and build safety networks, the whole county wins.

Note: The drive runs through December 19! If you want to add to this pile, you can still drop off items at CG Public Health, the Community Health Center, or Hy-Vee West.

Todos sabemos que mamá nos quiere, y nunca nos pediría hacer algo que no fuera seguro.

Por ejemplo, en relación con COVID-19 y las vacunas contra la gripe. Puede tener dudas y motivos para desconfiar de las vacunas.

THAT’S REAL, AND SO IS THIS:
COVID-19 y las vacunas contra la gripe han sido probadas y se consideran seguras.

The County Comfort & Safety Check: Prepare for a Safe & Cozy Winter! 🏡

As the beautiful Northern Iowa fall gives way to winter, it's the perfect time to make sure your home is safe and ready! Did you know that falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults? We want to help our neighbors stay safe and independent this season.

We're launching our Comfort & Safety Check to help you identify and fix simple hazards around the house using the CDC's proven checklist!

Focus on these areas today:

📶 Stairs & Steps: Fix loose handrails or put them on both sides of the stairs. Keep objects off the steps and ensure they are well-lit.

🚻 Bathrooms: Put grab bars next to and inside the tub, and next to the toilet, for crucial support.

🏠 Floors: Remove throw rugs, or use double-sided tape so they won't slip.

Click the link below for the complete CDC Home Fall Prevention Checklist and complete your fixes this week!
