Keokuk County Public Health Bringing “Public Health Pop-Ups” to Communities Across the County
Keokuk County Public Health is hitting the road! Through our new Public Health Pop-Ups, staff will be visiting communities throughout Keokuk County to bring health education, resources, screenings, and other services closer to residents.
Our goal is to make public health accessible, convenient, and visible throughout our county. Whether you have a health question, want your blood pressure checked, need help finding a resource, or simply want to learn more about what Public Health offers, we encourage you to stop by!
