We definitely encourage everyone to go support this United Way event Saturday.

If you travel in the southwest part of the county, keep this in mind. Starting next week, we're going to start work to construct a new bridge on South Sand Hill Road between Southwest 60th and 72nd. The project will take about six weeks. Check out this map to help plan out another route.
Thunderstorms possible after 3pm today. Although they are predicting these will mainly be east of us, the chance is still there. Monitor the weather if you are out this afternoon and evening.

We like to use this page to remind everyone of some services you have available to you. For example, you can use this pen in our clerk's office for notary service (not this specific pen, because I kept this one, but a similar pen). It's 50 cents for each document. That could be a living will, power of attorney, concealed carry permit - anything that needs a notary, we're on it. Everyone in our clerk's office is a notary, so anytime you stop in the Courthouse, we'll have someone ready to do the task.
Why vaccinate?
Serious health consequences can arise if children are not vaccinated. Without vaccines, children are at increased risk for disease and can spread disease to others in their play
groups, child care centers, classrooms and communities. This includes spreading diseases to babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer and other health conditions.
Check your child's records...set an appointment with us or your healthcare provider. We're all here to help.
316-283-1637. We open at 8:00AM, Monday - Friday.
Schools start again this week and the health department is ready to be sure your child is up to date on vaccinations.
Call us for an appointment - 316-283-1637.
With the new school year starting this week, one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their child’s health is getting their child vaccinated according to the recommended immunization schedule.
Whether parents have a baby starting at a new child care facility, a toddler heading to preschool, a student going back to elementary, middle or high school – or even a college freshman – parents should check their child’s vaccination records.
Here is a handy link for vaccinations for children ages 7-18 from CDC.
