Your health is worth the check 💙

Routine screenings can detect cervical cancer early, when it is most treatable. A simple Pap test can find changes before they become cancer, giving you peace of mind and protecting your future.

You may qualify for free or low-cost cervical cancer screenings through South Health District’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP).

A little reminder we all needed today. 💛

Staff at the Irwin County Health Department recently found a beautiful painted rock with the message “Be The Light.” After appreciating the inspiration and snapping a quick photo, they decided to hide it again so someone else in our community can discover it and enjoy the same moment of kindness.

Sometimes the smallest things can brighten someone’s day. If you happen to find it, snap a photo and feel free to hide it again to keep the kindness going! ✨🪨

As the winter months come to a close, mushrooms are a great way of getting Vitamin D in before spring rolls around! 🍄

Mushrooms are packed with nutrients like soluble fiber, B vitamins, and potassium. They are also rich in copper and protein, which is critical for building nerve and bone health! 💕

Mushrooms can also be included in meals in many different ways. Try incorporating mushrooms into salads, stir-frys, or add to meat and sauce blends! Check out these recipes to learn more about how to add mushrooms into your meals: https://www.budgetbytes.com/mushroom-recipes/
