A family history of cancer doesn't have to define your future.

At the El Paso County Public Health Reproductive Health Clinic, we offer preventive testing for inherited gene mutations BRCA1 and BRCA2, which raise the risk for breast and ovarian cancer. This screening gives you the knowledge to manage your risk and create a personalized preventative health plan.

Take control of your health journey. Schedule a confidential appointment to discuss screening for breast and ovarian cancer.

Call us today: 719-578-3199, option 1.

As we conclude National Breastfeeding Month, we highlight that there is no “one size fits all” way to feed your baby. El Paso County families are writing their stories as they go in order to make breastfeeding work for their unique lives.

Tell us your story: Breastfeeding rarely goes exactly as planned! What is one way
you’ve had to “go with the flow” or adapt your journey to make it work for your
family? Share your experience in the comments to help inspire others!

Don't let mosquitos ruin your summer! To protect yourself and your family:

1. Dump standing water in flowerpots, toys, and birdbaths to prevent breeding.
2. Use EPA-registered insect repellent.

Small changes like these can protect you and your family from diseases like West Nile virus, which is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. West Nile is most common in Colorado in August and September. While most people who get West Nile will not have symptoms, one in five infected people will have flu-like symptoms. There can also be more serious side effects. Learn more about West Nile and how to protect yourself at elpasocountyhealth.org/west-nile-virus.

Dozens of local families gathered at the Pikes Peak United Way Family Success Center on Aug. 10 for the El Paso County Public Health (EPCPH) Bundles of Care event. The event celebrated National Breastfeeding Month and connected parents with infant health resources.

EPCPH programs joined community partners to share about essential care services and resources and provide one-on-one guidance to attending families. The outreach efforts connected participants with ongoing maternal care and lactation support.
