Wake Up Tri-Counties RaeAnn Talks Colona Primary Care, Vaccines, WIC Services, Safety Toy Month, and Insurance Navigators

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Departments and First Choice Healthcare Clinics joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the closing of the Primary Care Medical Services in the Colona Clinic, vaccines as infections rise, WIC services remaining available, Toy Safety Month in December, and insurance navigators. Primary Care Medical Services at the Colona Clinic will be closing on December 5, 2025, though public health and WIC services will continue at the same site. Community members are assured a smooth transition as staff move to other First Choice Healthcare clinics in Kewanee and Toulon. Amid rising infections, the health department is offering updated COVID and flu vaccines on a walk-in basis. To schedule a children’s vaccination, call the Kewanee clinic at 309-852-5272 or the Toulon clinic at 309-852-3115. December is National Safe Toys Month, and families are urged to inspect their homes for holiday hazards. Health insurance navigators will be available in Geneseo on December 9th and Colona on December 15th to assist with coverage questions.
