Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 a.m. on KSMU.
In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, host Amanda Stadler speaks with Scott Allen, administrator with the Webster County Health Unit.
Allen gives a public health overview. He talks about the many traditional roles of public health such as vaccinations, nurse clinics, obtaining birth certificate records, restaurant/food safety and more. Allen shares innovative ways services continue to evolve to meet the public’s needs such as mobile vaccine clinics.
