 Staying Healthy in March
   Everyone Deserve a Healthy Home
Having a healthy home is essential for supporting everyone's health and well-being. An unhealthy home can lead to numerous adverse health outcomes and severely limit the quality of life. There are several aspects of a home that contribute to its overall health. At the Healthy Homes Department, we're all about creating a friendly and safe environment that supports a healthy lifestyle. Investing time creating a clean, organized, and secure home environment pays off in the long run. We prioritize health and safety by incorporating simple yet impactful habits like maintaining indoor air quality, regular cleaning routines, and minimizing potential hazards. By paying attention to details like proper waste disposal, managing moisture to prevent mold growth, and keeping common spaces clutter-free, we can ensure that our homes are a sanctuary for everyone. By adopting these practices together, we can build a foundation for a healthier lifestyle and create lasting memories in a space that truly feels like home.
As the National Healthy Homes Month approaches this April, join us in embracing a time of positive change and well-being for everyone!

 Healthy Home, Healthy You
We all deserve to live in a healthy home, but sometimes, our home can negatively affect us. Good home maintenance is essential to maintaining a healthy home. Doing so can effectively reduce allergens, prevent illnesses, and minimize the risk of injuries. Prioritizing the overall well-being of your entire house is crucial to achieving and maintaining a healthy home. Resources and services are available on our website.
