Administration

Dr. Ben Kinsman was the reason that the Perry County has a Health Department today. In the assessing of needs for medical services for his patients, he saw the benefits of County Nursing Services. When Dr. Kinsman was requested to help form the Health Department that could provide these Nursing Services, he said, Yes. From this decision to be a Sponsor for Nursing Services through the County Health Department, he saw his efforts grow into Community Health, Personal Health, Environmental Health, and a fully Certified Health Department with a Licensed Home Health Agency to meet the needs of the residents of Perry County.

MISSION: The Mission of the Perry County Health Department is to Provide Service and Educate to Promote Health, Prevent Disease, and Improve the quality of life for all citizens of Perry County.
VISION: An Educated, Healthy, and Safe Perry County.
