Tick season is here! Ticks live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas, or on animals, and can cause lyme disease. Protect yourself, your children, and your pets by using tick repellent, avoiding high grass and leaf litter, and checking for ticks when you come inside. For the best chance of catching and removing any ticks shower within two hours of coming inside and check under the arms, in and around the ears, inside belly button, back of the knees, in and around the hair, between the legs, and around the waist. For more information, check out the CDC’s guide to ticks. https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/prevention/index.html

Pernell Brice, our VP of Policy & Advocacy enjoyed convening with other Oral Health advocates 🦷🪥 from around the country in Washington D.C. as part of the Open network's Capitol Hill Oral Health Advocacy Days.
Speaking with legislative staff about the importance of maintaining Oral Health access in Medicaid; expanding dental coverage for Veterans; and protecting essential oral healthcare frameworks at the federal level were the focus of their discussion.
At we are proud to include oral health as one of the five clinical areas we focus on. In 2025 alone our National Network providers facilitated 41,220 dental visits. 23% of our mobile medical clinic fleet and 32% of our partners provide dental services.

Since 1987, CHF has provided nearly 8 million healthcare visits to children in need. In 2025 alone, our national network served more than 130,000 children and families through nearly 500,000 visits. Yet far too many children are still going without the healthcare they need to thrive. As needs grow and barriers increase, our goal is clear: to expand our reach so that no child is left without access to comprehensive, quality healthcare.

This weekend, our Healthy and Ready to Learn program made its way to Staten Island to support an amazing community event organized by dedicated parent coordinators for local children and their families. 💙

Of course, we had to show up with our fun educational materials, valuable resources, and opportunities to connect with parents about keeping kids healthy and ready to succeed. It was wonderful spending time with families, answering questions, and sharing information that helps support children's well-being and learning.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make this event such a success! ☀️📚✨
