The Cedar County Health Department is grateful for the generous donation from the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) Iron Chariots for Christ Chapter!

Thanks to their kindness, we’re able to provide free diapers to local families while supplies last. Stop by the Cedar County Health Department during regular business hours to pick up a package.

💙 A heartfelt thank you to CMA and the Iron Chariots for Christ for their continued support of our community and families!

Starting November 7, 2025, the Missouri State Public Health Laboratory (MSPHL) will no longer accept water samples or other specimens requiring state courier transport on Fridays at most locations. This change is due to adjustments in federal funding and rising service costs.

Courier pick-ups Monday through Thursday will continue as usual. If you need Friday drop-off options, please use the MSPHL courier location map to find alternative locations: https://health.mo.gov/lab/courierservices.php

We appreciate your understanding as we work to maintain these essential public health services.
