Do you provide any services for children's health?
Health Services offers parents of children ages 2 mo. through 5 years of age the opportunity to have developmental screenings completed. We identified that many parents are unsure of what the developmental appropriate growth patterns are with children. They may not need in-home services on a continual basis, but would still benefit from understanding child development patterns and learning how to make their child school-ready.
Please call us at (712) 472-8200 or email us at hslc@co.lyon.ia.us to learn more.
Do you provide immunizations?

What can I do to help an elderly relative/friend who I believe is at risk of suffering a fall?
Health Services of Lyon County offers county residents the opportunity to have a free in-home fall risk assessment completed.
We identified this was a need in our county, due to the results of our county health rankings indicating that we had a high percentage of falls in our county, mostly with the elderly population. Please call us at (712) 472-8200 or email us at hslc@co.lyon.ia.us to learn more.
