Thanks to everyone who made this year’s Engaged In Action Awards a special event! We are grateful to recognize the community members who help make Douglas County a great place for everyone and we thank you for your tireless work!

See some photos from the event and a recap of all nominees and honorees on our site.

Join us on July 1 for a special virtual presentation from Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health. Understanding Suicide Trends and Prevention in Douglas County examines suicide mortality trends from 2000 to 2023 and shares data on emergency department visits related to suicide attempts. It also highlights evidence based strategies for prevention efforts, as outlined in the Community Health Improvement Plan. Register today!

Everyone can help play a role when it comes to the opioid epidemic by carrying naloxone (Narcan) and staying prepared if you encounter an emergency situation. Naloxone vending machines are available in several communities in Kansas and available for request as well. Being prepared and informed can save a life!
