"🌱 Happy National Gardening Day! 🌼

Digging in the dirt isn’t just good for your plants — it’s good for you, too! Gardening helps reduce stress, encourages physical activity, boosts mood, and supports healthy eating. 🧠💪💚

Whether it’s a backyard garden, a few pots on the porch, or a community plot, every seed planted is a step toward better health. Take time today to grow something — and enjoy the benefits!

💚 That’s a wrap on Public Health Week! 💚

We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our community members, partners, and collaborators who showed up, joined in, and continue to be true champions of public health here in Rowan County 👏

We closed out the week on a high note with 🧘‍♀️ Yoga at Granite Lake Park with Health Department staff and Healthy Rowan Coalition members, and by connecting with residents at the Volunteer Fair at the Library—a perfect reminder that public health happens everywhere!

While Public Health Week may be over, being a Public Health Champion never stops 💪

You can keep the momentum going by:
✅ Participating in trainings
✅ Addressing and correcting incorrect public health information
✅ Sharing and engaging with our social media content
✅ Being a trusted messenger in your community

We are so fortunate to serve Rowan County and grateful for everyone who helps make our county a healthier, stronger place to live 💙
