The Ross County Health District recently hosted its Homebase Health Fair, providing an opportunity for community members to engage with the health district, learn about their services, and receive complimentary items. Various programs were present outside the health district office, showcasing their offerings and educating visitors on the resources available. Programs such as WIC, environmental health, and clinics cater to residents of all ages in Ross County.

One of the highlights of the event was the introduction of the new mobile medical unit during an open house. This one-room exam bus was acquired through a grant aimed at supporting COVID testing, but it can also serve various purposes like vaccine distribution, educational initiatives, and community involvement. Health Commissioner Janelle McManis expressed enthusiasm about the potential of this new tool in addressing health challenges in the county.

McManis emphasized the importance of the mobile unit in overcoming barriers to healthcare access in the community. Those interested in keeping track of the Ross County Health District Mobile Unit can stay informed by visiting their online platforms. This will provide updates on the unit’s locations and the services available for residents.
