Meet Taylor, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor for Independence County Local Health Unit🤱🤰

🎪🎡 What an incredible day at our Back-to-School Immunization Clinic!🎡🎪

A huge THANK YOU to the amazing public health team, community partners, and every family who joined us as we helped children get ready for a healthy and successful school year!

From immunizations and WIC resources to dental fluoride varnish, vital records, and community health information, our team worked together to make public health both accessible and fun. We loved seeing so many smiling faces enjoying our carnival-themed decorations while taking an important step toward a healthy school year.

❤️ This is what public health is all about—meeting our community where they are, creating a welcoming environment, and helping families access the services they need.

If your child still needs:
💉 School immunizations
📄 An official immunization record
👶 A certified birth certificate for school registration
🩺 Or other public health services...

📞 Give the Independence County Health Unit a call at 870-793-8848. This team is ready to help and proud to serve the families of Independence County.

Thank you to everyone who made today's clinic such a success. Together, we're building a healthier community—one child and one family at a time! ❤️

🤝 Bringing Public Health Into Our Community!

The Independence County Health Unit is committed to meeting people where they are. Your Public Health team recently had the opportunity to attend a local church, where they shared valuable health information and resources with families.

The team provided education and resources on:
💙 WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Nutrition Program
💉 Childhood and Adult Immunizations
🦷 Dental Fluoride Varnish

We believe that community outreach is one of the best ways to connect families with the services available right here in Independence County. Whether it's nutrition, immunizations, oral health, family planning, or other public health programs, the county health unit is here to serve our community.

🏫⛪🎉 Would your business, church, school, nonprofit, or community event like the Independence County Health Unit to participate?

They would love the opportunity to attend your event and provide health education, resources, and information about the many services they offer.

📞 Call the Independence County Health Unit at 870-793-8848 and ask to speak with the Administrator, José. He'll be happy to discuss how they can partner with your organization to promote healthier families and a healthier Independence County.

Together, we can build a healthier community—one connection at a time. ❤️
