In accordance with National Public Health Month, the Platte County Health Department (PCHD) is partnering with the Platte County Ministerial Alliances to initiate a county-wide drive to support our local soldiers.

“Health not only involves physical health, but also mental, spiritual and social health.

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. PCHD must have the APO/FPO address with the nine-digit zip code. Please call (816) 858-2412 and ask for Ame’ or Janice or email information to wallia@lpha.health.state.mo.us.
