Public Health

St. Francois County Health Center promotes the idea of building healthy communities
by encouraging individuals with its
Live Like Your Life Depends On It program.

We are encouraging residents to embrace healthier lifestyles. Improve the lives
of their families, their communities and themselves. They could be helping prevent
Missouri’s leading causes of premature death and disability;
 heart disease, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer. 

This year Missouri's theme is: One Community at a Time.
 
Public Health often is confused with health care, but they are not actually
the same thing.  Public Health focuses on the health of populations

Lets make a difference in our community and become healthy!!
