Healthy choices today, stronger island tomorrow. 🌺
This Oral Cancer Awareness Month, let’s protect our smiles, our families, and our future. Prevention starts early. The best choice is not to start chewing in the first place. Betel nut is addictive, and quitting can be very difficult.
Betel nut chewing can lead to oral cancer. Choose health. Choose prevention. Choose a stronger island tomorrow.

🌍 April is Autism Awareness Month
Understanding. Including. Supporting.
People with Autism are part of our community and awareness starts with:
💡 Understanding
Autism is a spectrum where each person has unique strengths and challenges. Early recognition helps children reach their full potential, and greater awareness reduces misconceptions, fear, and stigma.
Together, we can raise awareness, encourage early support, and build a more inclusive CNMI.
For more information on available Autism services and Parent Support Group dates, please contact our Family to Family Health Information Center at (670) 664-8700 or (670) 287-7464.
