The Hyde County Health Department will be offering free A1C testing for anyone who has not been previously tested. Community Health Day is on May 9th from 11 am - 4 pm at Mattamuskeet School. The event is hosted by Project DIRECT Legacy.

The A1C test measures your average blood sugar level over the past two or three months. It is a simple blood test that does not require fasting.

Day isn't just about big environmental changes in Hyde County. It's about the work happening quietly in our mainland and island communities.

In Environmental Health we see every day how connected we are to the land and surrounding waters.

Ensuring that wastewater is treated safely helps protect public health, groundwater, our coastal waters and inland fresh waters.

Earth Day is a reminder that small everyday actions, like maintaining your wastewater system, make a big difference.

The research and efforts of environmental health professionals are critical in order to effectively prevent illnesses, enhance quality of life, and even increase life expectancy.



-----en español

no es sólo sobre grandes cambios ambientales en el condado de Hyde. Es sobre el trabajo que está ocurriendo en silencio en nuestras comunidades continentales e isleñas.

En Salud Ambiental vemos todos los días lo conectados que estamos con la tierra y las aguas circundantes.

Garantizar que las aguas residuales se traten de manera segura ayuda a proteger la salud pública, las aguas subterráneas, nuestras aguas costeras y aguas interiores.
El Día de la Tierra es un recordatorio de que las pequeñas acciones cotidianas, como mantener su sistema de aguas residuales, marcan una gran diferencia.

Las investigaciones y los esfuerzos de los profesionales de la salud ambiental son fundamentales para prevenir eficazmente las enfermedades, mejorar la calidad de vida e incluso aumentar la esperanza de vida.
