Health Education

CONGENITAL SYPHILIS

According to the Alabama Department of Public Health, there has been a 667% increase in the number of congenital syphilis cases reported in Alabama between 2015 and 2020 so the more education we can provide, the better! Check out the fliers below that discuss updated screening guidelines, how to access previous syphilis records and treatments, as well as other information for patients and providers throughout the state.

Safe Sleep Education

Safe sleep is a key component of newborn care. Sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUIDs) happen all too often and spreading awareness of best safe sleep practices is key in prevention. See the flier that the ALPQC made below to help spread awareness of the importance of safe sleep. (Also available in Spanish)
