Quitting to***co is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health—especially to manage diabetes. Every to***co-free day helps improve blood sugar control, circulation, and energy.

Your body starts healing sooner than you think, and every step forward counts. Quit Tip - Consider going for a walk while listening to your favorite music!

Place used sharps in a hard-sided container (like an empty detergent bottle), tape it shut, and drop it in the kiosk.

🍩 Happy National Donut Day! 🍩

A sweet reminder that while treats are fun, prevention helps keep us healthy for all the moments we enjoy.

💉 Get the facts & choose what’s right for you!

Vaccines work with your body’s natural defenses to help you safely build protection against serious diseases. Staying up to date on recommended vaccines is one of the best ways to protect yourself and those you love.

It’s a great time to check in with your healthcare provider to make sure your family is on track with routine immunizations.

Western Plains Public Health is here to help. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, contact your local office:

📍 Morton: 701.667.3370
📍 Grant: 701.622.3591
📍 Mercer: 701.873.4433

**********************
🍩 ¡Feliz Día Nacional del Donut! 🍩

Un dulce recordatorio de que, aunque los antojos son parte de la vida, la prevención nos ayuda a mantenernos saludables para disfrutar más momentos.

💉 Obtenga los hechos y elija lo que es adecuado para usted.

Las vacunas ayudan a su cuerpo a desarrollar protección segura contra enfermedades graves. Mantenerse al día con las vacunas recomendadas es una de las mejores maneras de protegerse a usted y a sus seres queridos.

Western Plains Public Health está aquí para ayudar. Si tiene preguntas o desea programar una cita, llame a su oficina local:

We had a wonderful time being part of the Summer Reading Kickoff hosted by the Morton Mandan Public Library last night! 📚☀️

We were grateful for the opportunity to share information about our programs and services, visit with community members, and connect with so many amazing local organizations. It was a beautiful evening to be outdoors and celebrate the start of summer reading together.

We are so thankful for the partnerships that help strengthen our community and create opportunities for learning, connection, and fun. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit! We loved seeing you there!

💛🎧 NOW PLAYING: A New Episode of Public Health Matters 🎧💛

“It’s Quitting Time: Support, Resources & Hope for Healthier Lives”

Did you know some va**ng devices can contain ni****ne levels equal to hundreds of ci******es? Or that many people actually feel less stressed after quitting ni****ne? 🤯

This week on Public Health Matters, we’re having an honest, judgment-free conversation about ni****ne addiction, va**ng, quitting to***co, and the support available right here in North Dakota during Quit Week 2026 (June 7–13). 💛

Host Becky sits down with Neil Charvat from North Dakota’s To***co Prevention and Control Program to talk about:
✨ The reality behind va**ng, ni****ne pouches, and today’s ni****ne products
🧠 The connection between ni****ne, stress, anxiety, and mental health
💨 What happens to your body after quitting
🤝 How NDQuits helps people with free coaching and quit support
🌱 Why it’s never too late to quit…no matter how long someone has used ni****ne
💙 How communities across North Dakota are working together to support healthier lives

This episode is all about meeting people where they are with encouragement, practical information, and hope, because quitting isn’t about perfection. It’s about support, progress, and taking the next step when you’re ready.

💛 Plus, we’re celebrating ONE FULL YEAR of Public Health Matters conversations with our community!
