 Important Announcements
World Breastfeeding Week
World Breastfeeding Week is celebrated from August 1–7 each year. Breastfeeding promotion and support is an integral part of the Harnett County Department of Public Health Women’s Infants and Children (WIC) program.

It recognizes that breastfeeding is the best method of infant feeding and nurturing.For breastfeeding, support, and resources contact the Harnett County Department of Public Health, WIC program at 910-814-6241.
August is National Immunization Awareness Month
National Immunization Awareness Month reminds us that immunizations are important for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly. August is the perfect time to remind family, friends, co-workers, and others to talk with their doctors to make sure they’re up-to-date on their vaccinations.

Water Safety
Drowning is the second leading cause of accidential death among children ages 1 to 14. The Harnett County Child Fatality Prevention Team (CFPT), recommends for parents and childcare providers to remember active supervision is the best way to keep your child safe.

Summer Food Safety
During the summer many will be grilling out and handling foods for meals. Practicing basic food safety is essential for any healthy, enjoyable event. We want to remind cooks of some general food safety tips to help make sure your summer is not ruined by a food-borne illness. Clean hands, food preparation surfaces, and utensils are keys to preventing illness from unsafe food. For more information about food safety, see the Downloads box below for Barbecue Food Safety.
