Since 1925, JCPH has grown from a small rural health unit to a resource serving hundreds of thousands of residents across Jackson County. That means 100 years of providing health services, educational classes, and more!
- In the 1920s and 1930s, we combated the spread of tuberculosis and ensured the safety of unpasteurized milk sold at roadside stands.
- By the 1950s, our department played a pivotal role in vaccinating thousands of children against polio in a time of nation-wide outbreaks, protecting the youngest members of our community.
- During the 1980s, our focus turned to the AIDS crisis, providing education, resources, and support to those affected.
- In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges. Our staff worked to protect the safety of our residents during a time of uncertainty.
