August is National Wellness Month
💪🏼💦Taking care of yourself doesn't require a gym membership or a big-city schedule.
Some of the most effective habits are the simplest ones:
🔹 Drink water throughout the day, especially during harvest and outdoor work
🔹 Protect your sleep, even when the season gets busy
🔹 Move a little every day, whether that's a walk after dinner or stretching before chores
🔹 Check in with yourself and the people around you
Our Regional Health Connectors built a portal full of trusted local tools to help you and your family stay well, from mental health to healthy aging.

Centennial Area Health Education Center (CAHEC) Expands Student Pathways into Oral Health Careers
We are proud to have had the opportunity to participate in the ADEA Bridging Pathways to Oral Health Careers Program, a national initiative led by the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) and supported by Delta Dental through the Delta Dental Future Workforce Fund. The program introduces students ages 14–18 to oral health careers through engaging, hands-on experiences while highlighting the connection between oral health and overall health.
By engaging students early, CAHEC is helping strengthen the future oral health workforce in rural and underserved communities while increasing awareness of rewarding careers that improve the health of their communities.
😁Fun Fact: In the Burlington group, interest in dental careers more than doubled after the event, increasing from 6 students before the program to 14 students afterward who expressed interest in exploring a future in dentistry.
💥Quote: “The Dental Day Activity was highly engaging and informative. Students gained a solid theoretical background in basic dentistry and participated in numerous hands-on activities. Overall, the experience was incredibly rewarding, offering valuable insights into the profession.” - Venus Rotoni - Science Teacher and HOSA advisor at Burlington High School

💛🌍 World Hepatitis Day – July 28
Today we’re raising awareness for hepatitis — a global health challenge that affects millions but is often overlooked. Early testing, prevention, and education save lives, and together we can help break the stigma and shine a light on the importance of liver health.
Let’s spread the word, support those impacted, and encourage our communities to get informed and stay protected.
Awareness is action.
