Brain Injury Awareness Month 🧠
Brain Injury Awareness Month 🧠
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, a time to recognize that brain injuries are often invisible — but their impact is very real.
Recovery can look different for everyone. Some individuals may experience challenges with memory, concentration, mood, or fatigue long after the injury occurs. Patience, support, and understanding from family, friends, and the community make a meaningful difference.
By learning the signs, promoting prevention, and supporting those affected, we can help create a safer and more compassionate community.

National Poultry Day 🐔🌾
National Poultry Day 🐔🌾
Today we recognize the hard work of our poultry farmers and agricultural partners who help feed our communities.
It’s also a good reminder to stay informed about Avian Influenza (bird flu) — a virus that mainly affects birds but can pose a risk to those who work closely with poultry or livestock.
🦠 Practice good biosecurity, wash hands regularly, and monitor flocks for signs of illness.
💉 While the seasonal flu vaccine does not protect against avian influenza, it helps prevent human flu — reducing the risk of co-infection for those working in agriculture.
Protecting yourself helps protect your farm, your family, and your community.
