June is National Healthy Homes Month. This year's theme is The Power of Partnerships. The Black Hawk County Health Department is pleased to partner with Waterloo Community Development on the Healthy Homes Program. This Waterloo-based program consists of a series of in-home assessments, focusing on 29-health hazards, as well as a lead assessment.

Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC is recommending a pause in administering the J&J vaccine until further notice.

Black Hawk County Public Health is recognizing National Public Health Week, April 5th-11th, by thanking residents for coming together during a global pandemic.
