National Teen Pregnancy Prevention Month
Despite the progress we’ve made on lowering teen birth rates, we continue to see disparities by race, ethnicity, and in the most vulnerable populations—including youth who are homeless, living in foster care, or involved with the juvenile justice system—compared to the general population. NTPPM is about more than preventing teen pregnancy, it is about connecting youth to services and opportunities and ensuring positive outcomes for adolescents. When we work to prevent teen pregnancy, we help youth achieve their full potential.

Nacional de Prevención del Embarazo Adolescente
A pesar del progreso que hemos logrado en la reducción de las tasas de natalidad entre adolescentes, seguimos observando disparidades por raza y etnia, así como en las poblaciones más vulnerables —incluyendo a los jóvenes sin hogar, aquellos que viven en hogares de acogida o los que están involucrados en el sistema de justicia juvenil— en comparación con la población general. El NTPPM es mucho más que prevenir el embarazo adolescente; se trata de conectar a los jóvenes con servicios y oportunidades, y de garantizar resultados positivos para ellos. Cuando trabajamos para prevenir el embarazo adolescente, ayudamos a los jóvenes a alcanzar su máximo potencial.

Mayo es el Mes de Concientización sobre el Accidente Cerebrovascular. Cuando identifique una señal de advertencia de accidente cerebrovascular, actúe con rapidez. Reconocer las señales de advertencia y llamar al 911 de inmediato puede marcar la diferencia entre una recuperación sólida o una discapacidad a largo plazo; entre la supervivencia y la muerte. https://www.stroke.org/en/about-the-american-stroke-association/stroke-awareness-month

Lupus is a disease that can cause inflammation and pain in any part of your body. It’s an autoimmune disease, which means that your immune system — the body system that usually fights infections — attacks healthy tissue instead.

El lupus es una enfermedad que puede causar inflamación y dolor en cualquier parte del cuerpo. Es una enfermedad autoinmune, lo que significa que su sistema inmunológico —el sistema del cuerpo que habitualmente combate las infecciones— ataca, en su lugar, el tejido sano.

The Alexander County Health Department recently participated in an Administrative Preparedness Seminar to strengthen emergency response coordination and preparedness efforts within our agency and community partners.

Exercises like these help ensure staff are prepared to respond effectively during public health emergencies by reviewing communication procedures, emergency operations, decision-making processes, and continuity of services. Preparedness planning is an important part of protecting the health and safety of our community before, during, and after emergencies occur.

We are proud of our team’s commitment to ongoing training, collaboration, and readiness to serve Alexander County when it matters most.

Unmask the appeal of to***co products. To***co products may look colorful, but there are dark intentions behind this kind of marketing.

The to***co industry threatens not only public health, it also causes economic strain and next generation addiction. It seeks to sabotage health policies, affects the environment in negative ways, and its dirty money buys influence, promotes misleading narratives, takes advantage of loopholes and pays for tactics to sabotage to***co control.

To***co is NOT safe.

We need your help!

The Walk & Bike Alexander County Multimodal Transportation Plan presents a long-term vision for a safer, more connected, and more accessible bicycle and pedestrian network throughout the county. The plan outlines recommended infrastructure improvements, supportive policies, and programs to improve walkability and bikeability across both established communities and rural areas.

As Alexander County continues to grow and change, this plan will serve as a roadmap for making strategic investments in active transportation. By strengthening links between neighborhoods, schools, parks, and commercial destinations, the plan seeks to make walking and biking not only more feasible but also more enjoyable.

The public is encouraged to review the draft plan and submit comments or suggestions to [email protected].
