Yates County Public Health has been busy out in the community lately and loving every minute of it! 💙 Here’s a look at where we’ve been:

✨ Emily, Tammy, and Alyssa had a magical time at the Annual Dundee Fairy Tale Fest alongside Workforce Development and the Yates Prevention Coalition—so grateful to be part of such a fun, family-friendly health and safety event for our community!

👶 Tammy had a great time at the Community Baby Shower, connecting with expecting parents and families and sharing information about our family health programs.

🎓 Tammy and Peyton joined Keuka College’s Passport to Wellness Day, where they got creative with students by making work-life balance door signs to promote mental and occupational health.

🚜 Emily and Peyton visited Penn Yan Middle School’s Agriculture Safety Day with FFA students, teaching about chemical safety, tick awareness, and rabies prevention.

🌎 Brittany and Peyton had a great time at the Earth Day Extravaganza hosted by Cornell Cooperative Extension—educating families on tick prevention (and yes… there were live ticks safely contained in jars! 😄).

💼 Alyssa, Peyton, Tammy, and Sara wrapped things up at Penn Yan Academy Career Day, sharing the many exciting career paths available in Public Health!

A huge THANK YOU to all of these amazing organizations and partners for inviting us to be part of your events and for helping us reach our community in meaningful ways. We truly appreciate the collaboration and can’t wait for more opportunities to work together! 🙌

🌷 Stay tuned to our page for more upcoming spring & summer events!
