Rosebud County public health plans sun-safety outreach, school EpiPen distribution and a mobile skin-screening
Summary
Public-health staff announced community outreach events: a sun-safety table Aug. 4, free giveaways and a Sept. 11 sun-bus skin-screening using office space; EpiPens are in and will be distributed to schools when they reopen.
Jared outlined several upcoming outreach events aimed at prevention and access to screenings and supplies.
He reported the department partnered with RHCC for a sun-safety table on Aug. 4 and plans a free giveaway and outreach at Tuesday nights on 9th Street. "On August 4, we partnered with RHCC...we're gonna have kind of a free giveaway basket," he said.
The department also contracted a sun-bus for Sept. 11 to use the public-health office for skin screenings and expects to begin appointment scheduling about three weeks beforehand. Staff confirmed all EpiPens have been received and will be distributed to schools when they reopen to ensure student safety.
Jared said these activities will be advertised starting in early August and could expand depending on funding and demand.
