Each August, prior to going back to school, all school-age students and their parents in the southeast Ohio community served by the Gallia County Health Department have an opportunity to visit the county health fair. This program, which draws 350 to 400 people each year, is a collaborative effort of the county health department, job and family services, school nurses in two local school districts, and the Gallia-Vinton Educational Service Center (ESC). Job and family services provides the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds as approved by the County Commissioners and the educational service center coordinates the event.
