Healthy Neighborhoods Program Coming To Peru
The Healthy Neighborhoods Program of the Clinton County Health Department will be conducting door to door outreach and offering in-home surveys in the Town of Peru during the months of January, February, and March. These brief in-home surveys are designed to identify and educate residents on health and safety concerns. Home safety products such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, first aid kits, flashlights, asthma safety materials and child safety products are some of the items that are provided by the Healthy Neighborhoods Program depending upon the needs of the household.
During the home visit, education is provided regarding fire and bum safety, carbon monoxide poisoning prevention, lead poisoning prevention, asthma, injury prevention and many other health and safety topics. Information and referrals may also be provided regarding available community resources for which the family may qualify.
Participation in the Healthy Neighborhoods Program is free and open to all Clinton County Residents! Don’t miss this opportunity to participate.
