In The News
With COVID, flu, RSV, and the recent midterm elections, getting together with family and friends over the holidays can be tricky. Health and conflict experts give advice on how to safely and peaceably navigate the holidays.
90%+ of diagnosed cases of diabetes are type 2 - a largely preventable disease. Diabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, foot and leg amputations, and death. Several local nonprofits are helping those in the community to prevent or manage type 2 with breastfeeding, healthy food access, healthy eating and fitness programs.
It isn't just what you say when it comes to combating vaccine hesitancy, it's who's delivering the message. Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln partnered with trusted voices in Lincoln's Black and Hispanic communities to make a difference.
