POTSDAM -- The St. Lawrence County Public Health Department has served the county since 1936.
The agency offers a wide variety of health services and programs to county residents, geared toward improving both individual health and well being; and that of the community, said NCM in a press release.
In two shows, North Country Matters examines the work they do with Public Health Director Dana McGuire, who talks to NCM host Donna Seymour.
In the first show, the conversation focuses on lead contamination and immunizations to illustrate some of the issues Public Health covers in the county.

In the second show, McGuire talks about the St. Lawrence County’s Opioid Task Force, Partners 4 Substance Use Prevention.
The opioids drug epidemic touches every family in America, has cost billions of dollars and had damaged or ended countless lives, said a press release from NCM.
The meetings bring together a variety of individuals including treatment and recovery specialists, educators, health care practitioners, law enforcement, first responders, pharmacists, concerned citizens, and public health officials.
Meetings are held the second Friday morning of each month at the Best Western Inn in Canton and are open to the public.
