WIC for DeKalb, Gentry and Worth County families
Tri-County Health Department provides Missouri WIC services to eligible families in its three-county service area. WIC offers supplemental food, nutrition education, breastfeeding support and healthcare referrals.
Missouri WIC serves qualifying pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women, infants and children up to age five.
Applicants must live in Missouri and meet current WIC income and nutrition requirements.
Missouri says eligible SNAP, Temporary Assistance and income-qualifying MO HealthNet participants are automatically considered income-eligible for WIC.
Stanberry is the main WIC route. Worth County resources also direct WIC participants through the Stanberry program when necessary.
Confirm proof of identity, Missouri residence, household income or qualifying benefits before your certification visit.
WIC certification includes nutrition assessment, so the person applying may need to be present.
Grant City and other satellite clinic schedules can be limited, so verify the next WIC day before making the trip.
Child and adult vaccines through Tri-County Health Department
TCHD lists immunization clinics among its core public-health services and publishes seasonal school-vaccine clinic information. Availability varies by vaccine and location, so call before visiting.
Families can ask about routine childhood vaccines and Missouri school immunization requirements.
Missouri’s VFC program provides federally funded vaccines for eligible children under age 19 who are Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, American Indian/Alaska Native or underinsured under program rules.
TCHD also provides adult vaccination services. Ask which adult vaccines are currently stocked and whether a fee, insurance billing or eligibility rule applies.
STI testing, treatment and disease-control services
TCHD lists STD testing, treatment and prevention among its available services. It also performs communicable-disease reporting and disease-control work across DeKalb, Gentry and Worth counties.
STI testing and treatment
Call the Stanberry office before visiting to confirm current test availability, specimen requirements, cost if any and whether the service is available at a satellite clinic that week.
Communicable-disease reporting
The department works with Missouri’s public-health system on reportable diseases and outbreak response. Healthcare providers and institutions should use official reporting routes rather than general email for urgent protected health information.
Blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, lead and hemoglobin screening
TCHD provides several low-barrier screening programs designed to identify health risks early and connect residents with appropriate care.
Blood-pressure screening is listed as a Health Department service and can help identify possible hypertension that should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
TCHD lists glucose screening and cholesterol screening, with some testing requiring advance contact.
Lead/hemoglobin screening is available through applicable programs. Call ahead because age, program and clinic-day rules can apply.
Missouri birth and death certificates through Tri-County Health Department
TCHD lists Missouri birth and death certificates among its services. Missouri DHSS confirms that local public-health agencies across the state provide walk-in vital-record services.
| Record | Local availability | Current Missouri fee | Important rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Missouri birth certificate | Local health agencies generally access births from 1920-present. | $15 per record | Applicant must meet Missouri’s direct-and-tangible-interest requirements. |
| Missouri death certificate | Local health agencies generally access deaths from 1980-present. | $14 first copy; $11 each additional copy in the same request | Eligibility and identification requirements apply. |
| Older birth/death record | Use the Missouri Bureau of Vital Records when the record predates the local database range. | State fee schedule applies | Older, amended or complex records can require state processing. |
Environmental health and community sanitation

TCHD conducts food-establishment inspections in its service region and publishes current inspection findings online.
The department provides childcare-health consultation for area daycare providers, including prevention and sanitation guidance.
Call the Health Department for routing when a sanitation, facility or environmental-health concern could affect the public.
Tri-County restaurant inspections and food-safety complaints
TCHD publishes monthly food-establishment inspection information. Reports identify priority and core violations observed during inspections, helping residents understand whether problems were related to temperature control, cross-contamination, sanitation, plumbing, equipment condition or other food-code requirements.
Look for the establishment name and inspection month rather than relying only on an old review or social-media post.
Priority items generally represent more direct food-safety concerns than ordinary maintenance or core items.
The report reflects conditions observed on that inspection date. Conditions can improve or deteriorate afterward.
If you believe a food establishment presents a current public-health concern, contact Environmental Health rather than relying on public reviews alone.
Pregnancy, child-safety and family-support programs
TCHD’s maternal-child work extends beyond WIC. The department lists pregnancy testing, Temporary Medicaid assistance for qualifying pregnant applicants, lead screening, safe-crib programs, car-seat services, Safe Sitter education and child-health consultation.
Call ahead for current testing availability and ask whether any documents, fees or appointment requirements apply.
TCHD lists assistance for pregnant applicants who qualify under applicable federal/state guidelines. Eligibility is not determined simply by having a positive pregnancy test.
The department lists no-cost crib assistance as an available prevention program, subject to current program supply and eligibility.
TCHD lists free car seats and installation among its community-safety programs. Call to confirm availability and appointment requirements.
Free bicycle helmets are also listed among current injury-prevention services, subject to supply.

The department’s emergency-planning work supports local response to outbreaks, natural disasters and other incidents affecting community health.
