This is a way to become involved,” PCHD Director Mary Jo Everhart said.

The PCHD is seeking the names and addresses of deployed soldiers with family from Platte County, in order to distribute care packages to our military heroes. If you know someone, please call the Platte County Health Department with the service member’s full name (with our without rank or rating) and the Unit.
