City-County Health has been providing the residents of Barnes County high-quality care since 1978. Through the organizati­on’s Certified Home Care services, patients in the area are able to receive services in the comfort of their homes. Registered nurses, home health aides, physical therapists, occupation­al therapists, and speech therapists provide inhome care for patients

• After surgery, a hospital stay, a nursing home or swingbed stay

• With a declining health condition, medication concerns or therapy needs

• Requiring lab work, wound care, IV therapy, footcare, Injections, or diabetic assessment and teaching

Those, among the many other reasons clients seek home care, are addressed by staff in a profession­al, compassion­ate manner.

In addition to their home care services, City-County Health offers other services including passenger safety, emergency preparedne­ss, environmen­tal health, family planning, health tracks, immunizati­ons, in-office services, substance use prevention, public health home visits, infant and maternal health and school nursing.

Their profession­als are committed to the patients and families.
