Community organizations and agencies including the Network for a Healthy California (Network), and Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin/Dorothy L. Jones Family Resource Center have continued to work together with the neighborhood corner store, M & M Market, to improve access and availability to healthier food and drink choices for the surrounding community. Corner stores are critical in the battle against obesity, particularly among low-income Californians who are at greater risk.

The community is encouraged to come and see what is being done and can be done at neighborhood markets to improve food and drink options that support healthier lifestyles. The celebration will be held on Saturday, April 20, from 11am to noon, at the M & M Market, 1804 E 8th Street, Stockton, CA 95206.

Bring your family to the Delta College String Ensemble Concert for an evening of good music and good times!

STOCKTON, CA (January 9, 2013) –  Dr. Judy Cook, San Joaquin County Public Health Services Children’s Medical Services Director, warns parents and families of all young children that using surma, kohl, or kajal on the eyes of young children may cause brain damage.   “We now know there is no safe level of lead exposure in children,” says Gale Heinrich, Coordinator of San Joaquin County’s Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP).  “Even low levels of exposure cause lead to accumulate in the blood and can cause lifelong learning and behavioral problems.”
