WELCOME
Louisa County Public Health (LCPH) offers a wide variety of services to approximately 11,300 residents. LCPH nurses and staff members have been providing public health and Medicare Certified in-home nursing services to the residents of Louisa County since 1967.
We provide nurses and home health aides, who take care of individuals in their homes, homemakers who provide assistance in the home, immunization clinics for children and adults, blood pressure clinics and Environmental Health Services. LCPH educates and protects our community through programs that promote environmental safety, healthy life choices, safe food, and disease control. We also have a loan closet that has medical equipment available for county residents to use.
The State of Iowa has imposed stricter guidelines regarding the vaccines we use for childhood immunizations. The vaccine we have available is for children with no insurance or children with insurance that does not pay for vaccines or children on Medicaid. Parents need to call their insurance companies to check vaccine coverage and if their policy does not pay for vaccines we can administer the vaccine. We do ask for a $5 donation per vaccine to cover administration cost.
Mission:
Louisa County Public Health is devoted to assuring effective resources for the health of our communities.
Vision:
Louisa County Public Health supports and facilitates the Board of Health efforts to promote and protect the health of residents of Louisa County, in accordance with the vision and principles established by Iowa Department of Public Health.
