Thank you, Dr. Ali Khan and Brandon Grimm PhD, MPH for the honor of speaking at UNMC College of Public Health graduation ceremony today! The future is looking bright with all of those shiny new grads!

My staff are amazing. That's all! Douglas County Health Department #publichealth #rockstars

It's here- go get your shots, wear a mask, distance, test, wash hands, stay home when sick!

See this is why we keep this guy around! 😊

Come help us with some SUPER exciting work!

The numbers this morning are 😱- I can't slow this by myself, I need ALL of your help! Get vaxxed, stay home when you can, mask up, wash up, isolate when feeling icky. Also, only 2 of those gray hairs are from my children, the rest from COVID 😜. Let's do this, Douglas County!

Several have asked about boosters for 12-15 yr olds. FDA approved it this morning, CDC/ACIP to review and sign off sometime this week. Once CDC signs off, we'll be ready to roll. Stay tuned!

Omaha! I need to sew a tutu this weekend. Where is the best place in town for high quality fabrics? I'm going to need 13 yards of high-quality tulle, and would love to find a pink satin brocade (bet ya didn't know I could do non-public health stuff 😆)

They. Are. Burned. Out!

We are 3 hours into City Council, on item 14. Of 67. Please send sustenance. 😜

Leah is an absolutely amazing public health leader, and we are beyond lucky to have her! Whether in STD control or COVID vaccination services, she's got this community's back. Congrats and well-deserved! Dr. Casanave!

Make sure you are prepared! Does your family know where to shelter?

Hey Omahastormchasers this game would be even better if you played Seagulls youtu.be/U9t-slLl30E

This!

Being human is...well, human! We ALL struggle at times, and sometimes a lot. It is OK! Let's open the lines of communication and connection.

Racism is NOT. OK. Full stop.

Hey Omaha! People have questions re: Nox-Crete fire that occurred yesterday. Lots of info currently being gathered and will be shared in the next day or two. If you were nearby, were exposed, and are feeling sick, call your doc or go to ER. Otherwise, hang tight. More to come!

Here is the media release that went out earlier today, for those who didn't see it.

Thank you @rogergarcia1 for convening this. If community members have questions about the fire, please come ask them and we will do our best to get you answers.

Quick update: there will be reps from NDEE, public works, public health, emergency management, and some elected officials at the community meeting.
