This is what collaboration looks like—and it SAVES LIVES! 💙👏

Our clients and the community have provided a lot of feedback about our page and have expressed the need for there to be a separate page for WIC due to the frequency of posts. We will continue to utilize this main page to notify the community of any events, changes to our normal business hours and any other important information. We have created the following page; Neosho County WIC to share the WIC changes, updates, and nutrition tips and facts. You do not have to be a client to follow our WIC page. There are many helpful nutrition facts and tips that could still benefit you and your family!

Getting started with WIC is worth it! Hear from a mom in Washington about why WIC is important to her family! 💞

“WIC matters to my family because it helps us get the nutrients we need for our meals. As a new family of 3, it helped us have a well-balanced diet. It also helped us not indulge in unhealthy foods. It helped us to get the proper foods we need over the past year for our son. This included formula, baby food, produce, any and all food from each stage of our son’s eating journey! Our family really enjoys WIC!”

- WIC mom from Washington and member of the Swinomish Tribe

Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for City of Thayer, Neosho County
TOPEKA –The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Thayer public water supply system located in Neosho County. The advisory was issued because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind notice following testing at a certified laboratory.
Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the City of Thayer indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.
For consumer questions, please contact the water system at: 620-839-5353 or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit our webpage: https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/468/Disruption-in-Water-Service.

We’re proud to support the safety of our community! 💙
Through the Neosho County Health Department’s Maternal Child Health (MCH) and Community Health Worker (CHW) programs, we had the opportunity to donate LifeVac choking rescue devices and first aid kits to our local Sheriff’s Office.
These tools can make a life-saving difference in emergency situations, and we are grateful for the partnership and dedication of our law enforcement officers who serve and protect our community every day.
By working together, we’re building a safer, healthier Neosho County for everyone.
