Spotlight Series: Adair County

Our continuing "Spotlight Series": Adair

Cooperative Extension Service provides a range of educational programing and activities to support the well-being of Kentuckians. One good example is in Adair County where they collaborated with local agencies to hold a community baby shower focusing on infant health, safety, and environment during pregnancy through six months of age. Almost forty people, all with limited resources, attended the program. Participants received information on gestational diabetes, poison prevention, the importance of reading to your child, and children’s environmental health issues. Parents received $115.00 worth of home safety devices and child care materials in an effort to improve the health and well-being of their child(ren).
