Healthy Eating | Active Living | Preventing Chronic Disease

We all want to be healthy but that can be hard if the right supports aren’t in place. For example, it can be hard to eat healthy when it’s too expensive to buy fresh and local fruits and vegetables, they’re not sold in your neighborhood, or they’re not offered in the schools. It can be hard to be physically active when places like streets, sidewalks, and parks aren’t easy, safe, and enjoyable to u

se. And it can be hard to manage a chronic disease, like diabetes, when you aren’t connected to a system that helps you do so. That’s why Healthy Here exists. We’re working to change systems and environments to make it easier for Hispanic, Latino, and Native American residents of the International District and South Valley to access healthy foods, be physically active, and manage chronic disease. We do this with the help of a large network of partners, all of which have years of experience and expertise working in communities. Collectively our impact is stronger than when we work alone. Healthy Here is an initiative of the Bernalillo County Community Health Council. It is funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s REACH (Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health) award and managed by Presbyterian Healthcare Services.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be all-or-nothing.

Sometimes the biggest changes begin with small, everyday choices.
A glass of water.
A piece of fruit.
A short walk.
A meal shared with family.

These simple habits can support health over time.

🐄 Livestock owners: awareness matters.

Federal officials have confirmed cases of New World Screwworm in Texas and New Mexico. Regularly checking animals and reporting suspicious wounds can help prevent its spread.

📣Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins provided an update on the ongoing response to the New World Screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that can affect cattle, horses, sheep, goats, wildlife, pets, and, in rare cases, people.

🐄Federal officials recently confirmed several cases in Texas and New Mexico, prompting increased surveillance and response efforts.

🏜 While there are currently no reported cases in Arizona, livestock owners play an important role in early detection and prevention.

What ranchers can do:
• Inspect livestock regularly, especially animals with cuts, wounds, branding
sites, or recent procedures.
• Pay close attention to newborn animals and healing wounds.
• Watch for unusual wound drainage, foul odors, maggots, or wounds that
appear to worsen instead of heal.
• Promptly report suspicious cases to your veterinarian or the Arizona
Department of Agriculture.
• Maintain good wound care and fly control practices.

Protecting livestock starts with awareness. Early detection remains one of the most effective tools for preventing the spread of this pest.

**This information is provided for awareness and education. Animal health concerns should be reported to your veterinarian or the Arizona Department of Agriculture.**
