Health department explains services

Alice Maffett, interim nurse administrator for the SEK Multi-County Health Department, was the main speaker for Friday’s See, Hear Iola. The forum was one week earlier than normal because of the holiday.

Maffett is standing in after the recent resignation of DeDe Martin, nurse administrator. Martin has accepted another job.

Maffett said the health department does more than just shots in the community. It is  able to give physicals and vision screenings. The department also helps with family planning, Women Infant and Children (WIC), and oral contraceptives.
