What is Health Promotion?

The Central District Health Department (CDHD) division of Health Promotion helps people live healthier, safer lives. We focus on preventing problems before they happen by sharing easy-to-understand information, offering free services, and working with partners across the state. We support healthy habits, safe communities, and better access to care for everyone. Our goal is to make good health something that's possible for all! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us at 308-385-5175.   Ashley Hake . . .

Healthy Smiles

Healthy Smiles is a program that gives free dental care to kids in the Central District. It does NOT replace regular dental visits- it's an extra way to help prevent cavities. Kids may get flouride varnish or dental sealants, depending on their needs. For more information, call 308-385-5175.

Central District Health Department (CDHD) works collaboratively with community agencies in Hall County to form a Maternal Mortality Reveiw Committee. The purpose of the committee is to keep moms safe during pregnancy and after birth. Our team looks at birth data from our community to learn what went wrong and how we can provide better care. This helps moms stay healthy and go home safely with their babies. If you have questions about our work in maternal health please call 308-385-5175.
