Feeling a little like this pup?

Give yourself time to rest—and help keep illness from spreading.

Remember to wash your hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when you’re sick.

Small habits help keep our community healthy together.

You don’t need a special reason to reach out.

Call someone you’ve been thinking about, invite a neighbor for coffee, or check in with a person you haven’t seen lately.

A few minutes of connection can help someone feel less alone—including you.

Home visiting programs in Minnesota connect families with a nurse who can provide support during pregnancy, after the baby arrives and as your child grows.

Your nurse can answer questions and share helpful information about your child's development, parenting, health, safety and local resources.

Healthy communities start with small habits we share.

Wash your hands with soap and water before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom, and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.

Scrub for at least 20 seconds—clean hands help protect you and the people around you.

🚨 Preparedness Month may be ending, but preparedness shouldn’t!

Make sure you have an emergency plan, supplies, and an updated Wilkin Alerts profile.

Prepare now. Be ready later.
