On Saturday, October 24, the Shelby County Health Department joined residents and community partners for our Whitehaven Fall Festival at the future site of the new Whitehaven Public Health Clinic. The festival gave us an opportunity to enjoy fun, music, and fellowship, but it also represented something much larger: the Health Department’s renewed commitment to serving the Whitehaven community.

Thank you to the community members, partners, and staff who joined us !
