As the hunting season progresses in Illinois, the Henry & Stark County Health Department and First Choice Healthcare are raising awareness about the risks of tick exposure and the associated diseases, such as Lyme disease. With ticks remaining active into early winter, outdoor enthusiasts and pet owners must stay vigilant. To combat this, Lyme Disease screenings are now offered at First Choice Healthcare’s clinics in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon. This initiative, supported by MDL Labs and the Illinois Lyme Association, aims to provide accessible testing, accepting most insurances, including Medicaid and Medicare. For more details or to schedule an appointment, visit their website to find the clinic nearest to you.
