Wake Up Tri-Counties RaeAnn Tucker Talks Mental Health Awareness Month, Blood Pressure, and Food Safety

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year’s message is all about turning awareness into action. The Henry and Stark County Health Department, alongside First Choice Healthcare, is highlighting that one in five adults struggle with mental health every year—with many not seeking help. Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Paige Humphrey encourages everyone to protect their mental health, noting that resources are readily available for support. Meanwhile, the departments are also promoting regular blood pressure checks during High Blood Pressure Awareness Month and reminding event organizers of new food safety regulations. More information can be found on the health department’s website and social media.
