Leading a health department is no small task, but somehow Dr. Anderson keeps us moving forward, working together, and finding new ways to make a difference in Christian County!

Today, we're giving a little extra appreciation to the person who leads our team, supports our work, and helps keep public health at the heart of what we do.

Thanks for being a great leader, Dr. Anderson! We’re glad you’re the one in charge!

We enjoyed connecting with our community at the Christian County YMCA for Senior Day Out Health Fair! Our team offered free blood pressure checks and shared information about the many programs and services available through the Christian County Health Department.

We love opportunities like these to meet community members, answer questions, and help connect people with resources to support their health and well-being.

A big thank-you to the Christian County YMCA for hosting this great event!

People who have experienced mental health challenges firsthand have a unique kind of expertise. Their experiences can help shape better services, stronger support systems and more compassion.

It is important to listen to the stories and include people with lived experiences in the conversations, decisions and solutions that will affect their lives. This World Mental Health Day, let’s move beyond simply hearing people’s stories. Let’s listen, learn and take action.

While we work toward better mental health support in our community, help is available right here in Christian County. Our CredibleMind website provides free, private and anonymous access to mental health and wellness information, resources, self-assessments and tools to help you find the support that fits your needs.

You don't have to know exactly what you need or where to start. CredibleMind can help you take that first step.
