We are a multi-county health department organization that covers Allen, Anderson, Bourbon and Woodson Counties in Kansas. For services we offer immunizations, Women Infants and Children Program (WIC), adult/child physicals, health screenings, breastfeeding education and support, women's health, family planning, home visiting, disease investigation, STI testing and treatment, lab draws, and CPR certification.

In 1971, the Bi-County Health Department was started with Anderson County and Linn County. Kansas Department of Health and Environment worked with these two counties because of their low immunization rates. Several years later, Allen, Bourbon, and Woodson Counties joined to form the Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Department. In 2006, Linn County left the SEKMCHD leaving the four counties - Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, and Woodson.

In the beginning, Health Department Nurses went into all of the schools to give free immunizations to anyone who needed them. All the while working on educating the public about the importance of immunizations. We still provide immunization services, and many other services have been added over the years.
