February is American Heart Month, a time dedicated to promoting awareness around long-term cardiovascular wellness. From 2018 to 2022, the second leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths in Missouri was cardiovascular disease. High blood pressure during pregnancy, preeclampsia and gestational diabetes are associated with significantly greater risks of later heart disease and death from cardiovascular disease. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing maternal morbidities and deaths.

🚗 Ready to Ditch the Booster? Not So Fast!

Most kids aren’t ready until they’re about 4’9” tall and between 10–12 years old. The adult seat belt must fit properly to keep them safe in a crash.

Use the 5-Step Test:
✅ Back against the seat
✅ Knees bend naturally at the edge
✅ Lap belt low across hips/thighs (not stomach)
✅ Shoulder belt across chest (not neck or face)
✅ Can stay seated like this the whole ride

If the answer to any of these is “no,” it’s not time yet — keep using the booster.

And remember: Back seat is safest until at least age 13.

When it comes to car safety, a little extra time in a booster makes a big difference.

🧪 February is about Hazardous Substances & Safe Chemical Disposal 🧪
Many products we use every day—like cleaners, automotive fluids, pesticides, and paints—contain hazardous ingredients that can harm our health and the environment if handled or thrown away incorrectly. Improper disposal (like pouring chemicals down the sink or tossing them in the trash) can lead to pollution, injury, or dangerous reactions.

👉 Learn what household hazardous waste (HHW) is and how to manage it safely:
🔗 EPA Household Hazardous Waste Info: epa.gov/hw/household-hazardous-waste-hhw

👉 Find guidance on hazardous waste basics, recycling, and disposal:
🔗 EPA Hazardous Waste Basics: epa.gov/hw/learn-basics-hazardous-waste

Taking a few simple steps to identify, store, and dispose of chemicals properly helps protect your family and our local environment.

Keeping kids safe on the road starts with the right seat at the right stage. Car seats and boosters protect children best when they match their age, size, and development — not just their birthday.

❤️ February is Heart Month ❤️

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women—but small, everyday habits can make a big difference.

Move your body. Eat more fruits and veggies. Get enough sleep. Know your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar).

Taking care of your heart today helps you feel better tomorrow.
