This week’s LiveWell Finney County newsletter highlights practical steps our community can take to improve overall health and well-being. We’re featuring the CDC Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), an evidence-based, year-long program offered locally through the Finney County Health Department. The program focuses on moderate weight loss, increasing physical activity, and building sustainable lifestyle habits to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. If you’ve been told you have prediabetes—or think you might be at risk—this could be a life-changing opportunity.
February is also American Heart Month, and we’re encouraging everyone to finish strong by making small, heart-healthy choices each day. Whether it’s walking one of our local trails, choosing nutritious foods, or supporting tobacco-free living, every step counts. We’re also continuing to spread awareness about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, a free and confidential 24/7 resource for emotional support. Plus, don’t forget to mark your calendar for upcoming events, including our Coalition Meeting (February 24), LHEAT Meeting (March 11), and Colon Cancer Lunch & Learn (March 23).
