Events this Month

July 1-4
National Fireworks Safety Month--Though they can be exciting, festive and fun, it is important to remember that fireworks are also dangerous (CDC 2000). In 2005, an estimated 10,800 people were treated in U.S. emergency departments for fireworks-related injuries (Greene & Joholske 2006). The U.S. National Fire Protection Association and CDC strongly recommend that fireworks be used only by professionals.

International Group B Strep Awareness Month--Approximately 1 in 4 pregnant women carry GBS, the most common cause of life-threatening infections in newborns according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
