🌍💙 Happy International Day of Friendship! 💙🌍

Strong friendships and social connections are more than just heartwarming—they're good for our health! Research shows that having supportive relationships can boost mental well-being, reduce stress, and even improve physical health.

At Washington County Public Health, we know that a connected community is a healthier community. So today, we’re celebrating the friendships that help us thrive—at home, at work, and throughout our neighborhoods.

Take a moment to check in on a friend, lend a helping hand, or simply share a smile. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier Washington County.
