Reminder: We will close on Memorial Day- Monday, May 25, to remember and honor our fallen heroes. Wishing you and your loved ones a meaningful holiday. Our building and services will reopen on Tuesday during regular business hours.
May is National Water Safety Month! When you think water safety, it’s often centered around pools and lakes, but as one of our health educators, Rebekah shows us, safe practices can also start at home with your little ones. Click the Eventbrite link in our bio to sign up for classes now!

Through 24/7 resources, callers can be connected to our Right Response Unit, where they can speak directly with a licensed clinician, or transferred to 988, the National Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
Help is available. You are not alone.

It's National Infant Immunization Week! We want to remind you of the importance of vaccinating your little one on schedule to protect them, since they can't protect themselves.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents follow the latest immunization guidelines, which have been studied and proven safe and effective against vaccine-preventable diseases.
For more information and to make sure your baby is up to date on childhood immunizations, talk to your trusted health care provider.
You can also visit our immunization clinic here at Columbus Public Health. Check the link below for hours.
