THE TAYLORS
Paul and Barbara Taylor have lived and worked in Lawrence for nearly 30 years, raising their four children, now building families of their own. From immunizations to pool inspections – directly or indirectly – the Taylors have benefited from Health Department services.
These services include programs that:
• Monitor, identify and address health problems
• Diagnosis and investigate health problems and hazards
• Safeguard public health laws and regulations
• Develop plans and policies to protect health
“We have benefited from the Health Department through the years – sometimes we utilized it purposely, other times we used it and didn’t even know it was benefiting our family’s health,” Barb Taylor said.
The Taylors are just one example of the many of Lawrence and Douglas County residents who have come to rely on the Health Department’s presence.
Paul Taylor, a pastor at a local church and chaplain with Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical, came to the Health Department for his tetanus shot. The Taylor children, Sarah, David, Jeni and Ben, all received their childhood immunizations at the Health Department as well.
Barb and daughter Jeni, attended the Health Department’s unique family-based sexuality education course, “Kids Need to Know.”
Now married and with a family of her own, Jeni’s daughters, Anya, 3, and Charis, 6, have benefited from the Health Department’s Child Care Licensing program, which seeks to ensure the safety of children in day care. Both girls attended a local preschool, one of more than 300 facilities inspected by child care licensing surveyors each year.
