CDH Offers Free Health Tools and Resources Online

by on March 21, 2024

BOISE, March 21, 2024 – Central District Health has launched the CDH Storefront, a one-stop online shop for community members in Ada, Boise, Elmore and Valley counties to order health resources and educational materials.

The goal of the Storefront is to establish a trusted, consistent location for community members to access the tools that will impact their well-being, mental and physical health, including:

  • Overdose rescue and prevention education materials and supplies
  • Tobacco and vaping prevention materials
  • COVID-19 test kits
  • Suicide prevention resources

“It can be tough — especially for rural community members — to access the various tools and resources we supply,” said CDH Health Policy and Promotion Program manager Becca Sprague. “That is what led to creating the CDH Storefront and making these resources more easily accessible to our community. Aside from the COVID-19 test kits, all materials can be shipped free of charge to anyone in the counties that we serve.”

Available CDH resources will continue to be added to the online platform in the upcoming months.

“Our goal is to help make the Storefront reflective of all materials and resources available at CDH,” said Sprague. “Physical distance from our office should not prevent community members from accessing the support and materials that they need to live safely.”
