Wooster Daily Record

The Wayne County Health Department, paid for through a grant by the Ohio Department of Health, acquired a Mobile Unit.

While the Health Department has long performed outreach, it can now do it full service. The Health Department provides education, vaccines administration and COVID-19 testing on the unit.

The Mobile Clinic will make regular monthly stops in Mount Eaton and Kidron to serve those communities and will provide outreach services of various types throughout the county on Fridays.
