Public Health Dept. information

It will be a short week after the July 4th holiday and temperatures will likely be heating up! We encourage everyone to be safe and take care during these hot summer days. Some quick reminders; inside temps of vehicles can very quickly reach 120 degrees so never leave children or pets inside, hydrate with water or non-caffeine drinks and keep an eye out for heat stroke symptoms which can sneak up on someone. A few of the symptoms include throbbing headache, dizziness and light-headedness, lack of sweating and muscle weakness or cramps.

It is also good to know that some medications make the effects of extreme heat worse.

Call our office at 406.775.6332 to discuss questions about vaccines, other health topics, or to schedule an appointment. We still have COVID-19 vaccines available for anyone interested. If you are wanting a vaccine and are having trouble finding time to get one, give us a call and let us help. Offices are currently located in the basement of Carter County Courthouse at 214 Park Street in Ekalaka.
