Administrator Welcome
Welcome to the Webster County Health Unit online. It’s our hope that you’ll find information on our website that will help you make the best possible decision about your health.
Our staff works hard every day to preserve and protect public health across Webster County. This doesn’t mean providing medical care to individuals who are sick. Our focus is on working upstream and teaching, protecting and empowering people so that they don’t get sick. This way we can protect individuals’ health and more effectively protect our entire community.
By providing vaccinations, offering nutrition education, ensuring clean water and safe food, and providing screening and testing services, we are confident residents in our county will have an opportunity to thrive and make their lives healthier.
We are continually making changes in order to serve our communities better, but our outstanding customer service and commitment to our mission continue with the same fervency our staff have shown since 1957. We hope you’ll stop by the Health Unit to learn more about us, and to utilize the services we offer members of our community.
