A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
For the past two weeks, the percent positivity for new COVID19 cases statewide has remained under 10%. Let’s continue to follow CDC guidance to keep this trend going.
While schools and businesses are opening back up, public health services are also available to you from your local county health departments. We remain open for you! Many of these services range from clinical, nutritional and wellness to environmental and infectious disease. For a full list of available services please visit: http://gulf.floridahealth.gov/
One program we would like to highlight is Healthy Families Florida (HFF) to support growing families. HFF programs provide free, voluntary parent coaching and support services that increase the knowledge and skills of parents so their child can grow up healthy, safe, nurtured and ready to succeed in life. Services can last up to five years, depending on the needs of the family. For more information on the Healthy Families Program in Franklin and Gulf Counties, please call 850-323-6015 and check out this video explaining the benefits of Healthy Families: https://bit.ly/34CxA8o.
