Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah. February 6, 2013. Jill Parker, Bear River Health Department, reported
on efforts this year to work on preventable diseases. BRHD has opened a new building in Tremonton to
fulfill their desire to come to each community more. They have a building in Garden City which has
a meeting room that is available to the community to use. They also have a facility in Randolph. A grant was awarded to the Bear River Health Department to bring their food program in compliance with the
FDA. BRHD also runs the WIC program for
women who are pregnant or who have very small children.
They work closely
with the Rich County School district on health education and run a
comprehensive vaccination program.
Parker reminded adults that they all need one TPAP (whooping
cough) booster in their life especially if they are around young children. The vaccination program provides flu shots
and shots for those who are travelling abroad.
