WELCOME

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff, we welcome you to the Laclede County Health Department website. Our intentions for this site are to provide helpful information regarding our services, guidelines, hours of operation and special activities.

It is our goal to keep the information updated and changed in a timely fashion. Some of the information will remain for extended periods, as it is services routinely offered. Other items may be seasonal, or offered only a few times per year.

If you have a specific question or comment, please e-mail the Administrator Charla Baker at bakerc@lpha.dhss.mo.gov. I will research your need and provide a response as soon as possible.
