We want to thank Carson for her service through the AmeriCorps program at the Lawrence County Health Department!

During her time with us, Carson has been a valued member of our team, assisting with community outreach, health education, special events, and other public health initiatives. Her positive attitude and dedication to serving our community have made a lasting impact on our staff and the people we serve.

As Carson begins this exciting new chapter and heads off to college, we wish her nothing but success. Carson plans to pursue degrees in Public Health and Political Science while exploring careers in both public health and public education.

One of Carson's favorite memories from her time at the Health Department was helping with the HANDS Mother's Day event and enjoying lunches with Trish and Tina.

We will miss Carson and wish her the very best as she begins this next chapter. We can't wait to see what the future holds for her! Thank you for your service, Carson!🎉💛

Right now, a patient in our community is fighting for their life—whether it’s a child battling cancer, a mother in surgery, or a trauma survivor. They are relying on the kindness of strangers to make it home.

Blood cannot be manufactured. It only comes from people like YOU.

Giving blood takes less than an hour, costs nothing, and a single donation can save up to three lives. You don’t need a cape to be a hero—you just need to roll up your sleeve.
