🍂🍁 Fall is here, bringing cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and a great reminder of the importance of public health! 🤎🧡

As the seasons change, it’s important to take simple steps to protect our health, from practicing good hand hygiene and dressing for cooler weather to taking care of our mental well-being. 🧣🍃

💉 Don’t forget your flu shot! Help protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community this flu season. Stop by the Osage County Health Department during operating hours to get your flu shot! 🍂❤️

Public health is all about prevention, education, and making sure our communities have the resources they need to stay healthy. Sometimes, the smallest steps can make the biggest difference!

This fall, let’s continue to spread awareness, encourage healthy habits, and look out for one another. Because a healthier community starts with each of us! 🍁✨

😂 The filters are funny, but the reasons we show up every day are REAL. 💙

Public health is more than vaccines, screenings, and paperwork. It’s about caring for our community, building relationships, and making a difference right here in Osage County. 🩺

We might not always look professional doing it, but we sure do love what we do! 😂💙

💙 The Osage County Health Department girls have been BUSY! 💉

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of traveling around Osage County, bringing healthcare straight to our community! From flu and COVID vaccines to squeezing in health screenings, we’ve been on the go visiting Osage County R2 Schools - Linn Wildcats, Fatima School District Preschool, Diamond Pet Foods Meta Location, Quaker Windows & Doors, Lakeside Book Company Linn Location, Osage Ambulances, and The Schoolhouse Childcare LLC!

We also hosted public clinics at Chamois Methodist Church, Meta Fire Station, and Westphalia Lions Club. A huge THANK YOU to these locations for opening their doors and helping us bring healthcare closer to home. ❤️ In a community like ours, it really does take everyone working together to look out for one another!

And today, we wrapped up our very first Comfort Clinic, and it went even better than we could have hoped! 🥹 Seeing those kiddos do so well with their vaccines in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment was so rewarding. We hope it gave parents a little extra peace of mind, too!

We’re already looking forward to bringing the Comfort Clinic back next year!

From our schools and local businesses to our churches and fire stations, we are so thankful for the people who welcome us, support us, and help us take care of our neighbors. This is what community is all about! 🫶

Thank you, Osage County, for keeping us busy and reminding us why we love what we do! 💙

Today's the last day to make your appointments for our comfort clinic! Call us at (573) 897-3103 to schedule!

💚 A different kind of vaccine clinic.

We know that getting a vaccine can feel stressful... especially if you’re nervous about needles, have sensory needs, or simply feel more comfortable in a quieter, supportive environment.

That’s why we’re creating our Comfort Clinic. 🫶

Join us for flu & COVID vaccines in a space designed with comfort, patience, and compassion in mind. No rushing. No judgment. Just supportive care, close to home.

📅 Saturday, October 10
⏰ Starting at 8:00 AM
📍 Osage County Health Department
📌 By appointment only

And what better way to recognize World Mental Health Day than by making healthcare a little more comfortable for everyone?! 💚

If you or someone in your family has been putting off their vaccines because of anxiety, sensory needs, or just feeling uneasy about the experience, this clinic is for you.

📞 Call us at (573) 897-3103 to schedule your appointment.
