Happy birthday to all June babies...wishing you a bright and sunny day to celebrate!

New York State requires doctors to test all children with a blood lead test at age 1 year and again at age 2 years. A blood test is the only way to know if your child has been exposed. The lower the test result, the better.

Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially in young children. It can harm a child’s growth, behavior, and ability to learn.

Visit www.cayugacounty.us/NHFL for more information and be sure to have your child tested.

And that's a wrap on this year's Bike and Roll to School Day activities! 🛴🚲

We're proud to partner with local elementary schools to host these events. Over the last few weeks, hundreds of Cayuga County students biked and rolled to school while learning about the importance of incorporating safe physical activity into their daily routines, as well as safe riding principles such as how to read road signs and wear a properly fitting helmet!

A special thanks to everyone that participated in these events. We will see you again in the fall for Walk to School Day! 😉

When dogs and cats spend time outdoors, they can easily come into contact with ticks.
These ticks may be carried indoors and could later bite members of the household. Pets, just like humans can get sick with tickborne diseases.
Performing daily tick checks and removing ticks promptly can help protect your pets from illness.Learn more: cdc.gov/ticks/prevention/preventing-ticks-on-pets.html
