Livingston County Health Center

What Livingston County Health Center does

Livingston County Health Center is a Local Public Health Agency (LPHA) operating under Missouri state health authority to serve the residents of Livingston County, Missouri. Founded in 1977 as a pilot clinic and subsequently approved by county voters, the agency is governed by a Board of Trustees and administered by Katie Stephens, DNP, RN, NEA-BC. The organization provides a comprehensive portfolio of public health services spanning clinical care (immunizations, STD testing, adult health screenings and blood draws, communicable disease surveillance), maternal and child health (WIC supplemental nutrition program, breastfeeding support, children and family services), environmental health (food safety inspections, private water testing), vital records issuance, and community wellness programs (Safe Sitter training, Agriculture Safety Day, mental health and substance misuse referrals).

The agency's underlying technology is minimal and externally sourced. It relies on the Missouri Department of Health's ShowMeVax Immunization Registry for immunization record management and the CDC's Vaccines for Children Program for vaccine procurement. The organization's digital footprint consists of a Wix-hosted website and Facebook presence. There is no proprietary technology, mobile application, or AI capability developed in-house.

The business model is government-funded public health service delivery rather than commercial revenue generation. The center operates with a lean staff of 1-10 employees from a single facility at 800 Adam Drive, Chillicothe, Missouri. Revenue is sourced from federal pass-through funding (WIC contract with Missouri DHSS for FY2026), state appropriations, and minor fee-for-service charges including birth certificates ($15), death certificates ($14 first copy, $11 additional), breast pump loans (free for WIC clients, $50 for general public), lead screening ($15 or free for Medicaid), Safe Sitter classes ($25), and 911 rural location signs ($15-$25). The customer base is entirely county residents, with no commercial customer relationships or named enterprise clients.
