10 WEEKS TILL THE PRMC HEALTH FAIR!

The purpose of the health fair is to provide low cost lab work and/or free health screenings and educational exhibits to persons interested in learning how to take better care of their health. This is a non-profit community wide project in which we emphasize health education, wellness, and prevention.

Pratt County Health Department will be offering flu shots at the health fair, and we will once again offer our Teddy Bear Clinic for the kids!

Sacred words: “When I need help, shall I turn to the idols

of the mountain gods? Ha! My help is from the LORD!

He made those mountains--and the heavens too!”

–Psalm 121:1-2

Ancient words: “Who has measured the waters in

the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens

with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a

measure and weighed the mountains in scales and

the hills in a balance?” –Isaiah 40:12

Due to less than 100 employees responding, we are extending the

daycare survey! This is for PRMC Employees

who either use childcare services currently, or will

need to in the future. If that does not apply to

you, then you can disregard.

This survey is only 12 questions long, and will take less than

4 minutes to complete.
