It’s the warmest winter on record in Sheridan County, and the grass is unseasonably dry. Ruralfirefighters have responded to vegetation fires for three consecutive days.
The Sheridan County Board of County Commissioners, County Fire Warden, and rural firedepartment chiefs urge everyone to use extreme caution with any outdoor burning.

Every year on March 4, the global health community observes International HPV Awareness Day, a moment dedicated to spotlighting one of the most common yet most misunderstood viral infections in the world: Human Papillomavirus (HPV).

HPV is not rare. It is not confined to specific regions. It is not a niche public health issue. It is a universal infection that affects millions of people across continents, cultures, and socioeconomic groups. Yet despite its prevalence, awareness remains insufficient and that gap in knowledge carries consequences.

HPV is responsible for nearly all cases of cervical cancer and contributes significantly to a**l, oropharyngeal, vulvar, vaginal, and pe**le cancers. According to the World Health Organization, cervical cancer alone claims more than 300,000 lives each year, with the overwhelming burden falling on women in low- and middle-income countries.

This is what makes HPV unique in oncology. Unlike many other cancer risk factors, HPV represents a clearly identifiable, preventable cause. The scientific link between persistent HPV infection and certain cancers is well established. The tools to intervene already exist.

There is a vaccine for HPV. Talk to your healthcare provider or us here at Sheridan County Public Health!

Last night, one of our fellow first responders lost his home and all belongs in a devastating fire. This family just welcomed a new baby to the world and also have a 3 year old. Thankfully, everyone made it out of the home safe but they will be completely starting over. If you are able to, please help this family get back on their feet. Let’s show them how well this community takes care of one another in times of need! Thank you.
