Henry County Health Department
The Henry & Stark County Health Departments & First Choice Healthcare announce that June 14th has been proclaimed Family Health & Fitness Day and June 9-13 has been proclaimed National Community Health Improvement. The purpose of these designations is to honor healthcare professionals who work closely with communities and dedicate their lives to improving the health of the residents and families they serve.
When families strive to be healthy together, the success rate increases. Incorporating exercise, healthy diet and access to health services into a family's lifestyle and routine takes a team effort. Therefore, the Health Department takes this opportunity to remind local residents and families that in addition to the vast array of public health services; they also offer needed and vital clinical services through their First Choice Healthcare clinics in Kewanee, Colona and Toulon.
First Choice Healthcare offers a full range of clinic services which includes: sick appointments; family planning; school/sport exams; chronic disease management; STD testing and treatment; DOT/work physicals; TB testing, lead screenings and immunizations. In addition, our Kewanee and Toulon locations offer “Walk-In” clinic services, and now mental health services, and community health programs. What this means is, Henry and Stark County residents are able to access integrated primary medical and mental health services in one healthcare home.
For more information or to schedule an appointment at our First Choice Healthcare Clinics call Kewanee 309-852-5272; Colona 309-792-4011; and Toulon 309-852-3115.
