This week, we’re doubling our focus:
📚 National Health Education Week (Oct 19–26): building health literacy for all.
🏠 National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week (Oct 19–25): protecting families and children from the dangers of lead.
Follow Health Ed Express for trusted resources and share them with your community.

October is Lead Poisoning Awareness Month. Even small amounts of lead can be harmful—especially to children.

Falls are a leading cause of injury and death for older adults, but they are not inevitable. This Thursday (9-18-2025) marks the start of Falls Prevention Awareness Week, and we're highlighting the importance of taking action. Falls caused over 38,000 deaths in adults 65+ in 2021. We've compiled resources, including a toolkit from National Council on Aging. See the resource link below to learn how to prevent falls and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
