Seasonal Health Tips
Getting a flu shot is more important than ever and one of the best ways to keep yourself and others healthy. Good health habits will also help protect you and others from flu and COVID-19. Wear a face mask that covers your nose and mouth. And keep a distance of at least 6 feet from others. Wash your hands often and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Clean frequently touched surfaces and stay home when you are sick. For more information visit our Flu page and clinic scheduleXổ số long nhãn 30 ngày or call 609-645-5933.

New Guidelines for Childhood Lead Screenings
In September 2017, New Jersey's reference level for high childhood lead exposure dropped from 10 ug/dL to 5 ug/dL. This means that more children will likely be identified as having an elevated blood lead level—allowing parents, doctors, public health officials, and communities to take action earlier to reduce the child's future lead exposure. Children can be exposed to lead through lead-based paint, toys, certain parental occupations or hobbies, soil, dust, drinking water, air and food. Children put their hands in their mouths more often than adults. It's especially important for them to wash their hands before eating and after playing outside. If a child has lead in his or her blood, it can affect IQ, ability to pay attention, hearing and speech, behavior, growth and development, and academic achievement. All children should be screened at age 1 and 2, or by age 6 if they were never previously tested. Speak with your child's pediatrician to get a lead screening. If your child is uninsured or underinsured, call 609-645-7700 ext. 4500 to check for eligibility and make an appointment for a grant-funded lead screening. For more information visit: or
