The Henry & Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Celebrate International Women's Day, March 8, 2023

The Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare announce that today we celebrate International Women's Day, March 8, 2023.

     RaeAnn Tucker, Health Department Director of Health Promotion, states, "The goal of Women's Day is to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.  The Health Department and First Choice Healthcare also want to use this special day to empower women to make their health a priority."

     Therefore, the Department hopes to raise awareness of the women's health services available at their First Choice Healthcare locations.  The First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee and Colona offer area women such services as annual exams, pap smears, pregnancy testing, contraceptive counseling and supplies, clinical breast exams, fasting blood profiles, and immunizations.  Payment for Department services include medicaid, and most insurances.

     Tucker adds, "Every woman should have access to affordable health care services. We encourage local women to take advantage of the savings offered through our First Choice Healthcare Clinics."
