Becky Johnson, new director of the Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Departments, wants to bring more public awareness to the agency.
Along the way, shes learning more about the agency herself.
Im surprised at how many people dont realize what type of services we offer, Johnson said.
That includes services like child care licensing, CPR training, help with KanCare enrollment and emergency preparedness in coordination with local and state agencies and other health departments. The department also offers a variety of health-related services, such as tests and screenings, immunizations, breastfeeding support, family planning, Healthy Start Home Visits and the Women-Infant-Children (WIC) program.
