Family and Community Health offers services that help you prevent health problems. We consult, educate, examine and screen for health problems that early detection can prevent or improve with treatment. We work closely with our community's private medical services, pharmacies, volunteer service organizations, local and state agencies and providers of social, educational and dental services.
We help you manage chronic diseases, understand nutrition's role in good health, prevent injuries and know what to look for in a child care facility. Clinical and educational services cover every age, from newborns to the elderly.
