Summer is here and that means outdoor cookouts, camping, and summer fun. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) would like to take this time to remind everyone to keep their food safe to eat and reduce the risk of food poisoning. While the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world, preventing foodborne illness remains a major public health challenge. About 1 in 4 of all disease investigations done by SWNPHD are related to gastrointestinal illnesses, including food poisoning.

TRPHD is excited to announce a completely free and voluntary new service to residents in our district. Two Rivers Public Health Department now has the certification and capabilities to inspect private home pools completely free.
