New Madrid County Health Department
Healthy and Active Bootheel Communities Program
| The New Madrid County Health Department has implemented a program to increase awareness of the need for proper diet and physical activity in an attempt to combat obesity and related health problems. We will be working with three elementary schools at the the 4th and 5th grade level, five African-American churches, the staff of the elementary schools and the health department and with the communities of Gideon and Lilbourn to provide walking trails for the citizens of those communities. Any questions about this program should be addressed to Ms. Jayne Dees or Ms. Pat Maltbia at 573-748-5541.
