From CPR and food service certification to emergency preparedness, mental health, traffic safety, disease prevention, and community health assessments, students got a firsthand look at the many ways public health impacts our daily lives.
Thank you to our staff, community partners, and students for making the first-ever Delaware Public Health District Public Health Summer Academy a success!

You don't have to know everything to be an incredible dad.
You'll learn as you go. You'll make mistakes. You'll have moments when you wonder if you're doing it right.
What your child needs most isn't a perfect dad. They need a dad who shows up.
A dad who reads one more story.
Who gets down on the floor to play.
Who offers a hug after a hard day.
Those everyday moments help shape how children grow, learn, and see themselves.
You don't have to be perfect. You just have to be present.
Because dads matter more than they realize.
