Pregnancy and Child Health 6 years, 2 months agoI wanted to kick this group off with some discussion on what everyone had trouble with during their pregnancy, whether it is sticking to the guidelines (weight, diet, exercise, etc.), health issues (gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, PUPPP, HELLP syndrome, placenta previa, etc.), or any other topic related to pregnancy.
I personally struggled…[Read more]

What matters to you? 6 years, 2 months agoAn important topic was unintentionally missing in the Launch Survey. Services and opportunities for people with developmental disabilities or special needs is very important.
If anyone else feels that this is an important issue please include it in the “other” category in the survey, or share more in the conversation here.

Drugs: Problems and Solutions 6 years, 2 months agoInternational Overdose Awareness Day, is Friday, August 31st. I hope people will remember to wear purple to show support and continue to create awareness.
-
Are there any events happening locally in support of this day?

I’m not aware of any formalized plans, but maybe someone else here is aware. We’re wearing purple at work as part of our wellness program.
-
OK thank you. This is something easy enough to do, would be nice to support an effort locally.

Drugs: Problems and Solutions 6 years, 2 months agoDid you know that our Allegany County EMS providers are part of a unique pilot project in our State?
In collaboration with the Allegany County Health Department, they are distributing naloxone kits to family members or friends who are on site when an overdose has occurred.
This setting is high risk for another event to occur, and this way, the…[Read more]

Having a healthy baby is the outcome every mother wants. It’s so important to realize that our habits during pregnancy (like caffeine in your case) can influence outcomes, often times silently. The fact that you had good pre-natal care allowed you to learn about the things that were silently occurring, and change your behavior to avoid added…[Read more]
Thanks Nicole for posting your personal struggle with following the “one cup of coffee a day” rule. My personal struggle was choosing the healthier selection of foods for snacks and meals and also my portion sizes for these snacks and meals. Our days and weeks get busier and busier, and I believe it is more important now to exercise and eat…[Read more]
