Knowing what resources are available empowers people to make informed decisions and live healthier lives. Our goal is to ensure everyone in our community has the tools and knowledge to thrive.
Community Health Workers: Here to Help You Thrive
Life can be challenging, and sometimes finding the right help feels overwhelming. That’s why the Pike County Health Department now has two Certified Community Health Workers (CHWs)—thanks to federal grant funding—to guide you through local resources and connect you with the support you need to live a healthy, meaningful life.
