International Women’s Day arrives this Sunday, with the Henry and Stark County Health Departments partnering with First Choice Healthcare to spotlight women’s health. RaeAnn Tucker notes that clinics in Kewanee and Toulon provide essential services such as annual exams, pap smears, breast exams, and contraceptive counseling. Appointments are available to women of all ages, including those via Medicaid or insurance. This month, residents aged 45 to 75 can pick up free home FIT tests for early colorectal cancer screening—no appointment needed.
