Due to the current weather conditions, Pettis County Health Center and WIC will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 26, 2026.

The safety of our staff and community is our top priority. We encourage everyone to stay home, avoid unnecessary travel, and stay safe and warm.

The warming shelter is open at St. Patrick Church, 415 E. 4th St. for anyone needing a safe, warm place during this weather.

Please remember to check on loved ones, neighbors, and those who may be vulnerable — and don’t forget pets as well. Looking out for one another makes our community stronger.

• Ask "who," "what," "where" or "why" questions, like "Where is daddy?"
• Say what action is happening in a picture or book when asked, like "running," "eating" or "playing."
• Say first name when asked.
• Talk well enough for others to understand, most of the time.
