Protect Initiative word graphic CDC PROTECT Initiative
The PROTECT Initiative, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is launching an educational program, “Up and Away and Out of Sight,” to encourage parents to follow a few simple steps to protect children from unintentional medication overdoses. Overdoses can lead to harm, sometimes requiring emergency treatment or hospitalization and are a significant public health problem. Children are especially vulnerable to unintentional overdoses, most of which can be prevented.
Community Health Status Community Health Status
The Health Department developed the Community Health Status report as an effort to gain an understanding of the health specific to Sioux Falls citizens. Having an understanding of the health of Sioux Falls will serve as the basis for building programs and partnerships to have a positive effect on health outcomes. Please follow the link below to leave feedback about the form.
