Lucas County Health Center’s Education Department is a valuable resource for the local community. We invite local healthcare professionals, first responders, firefighters, and community members to turn to LCHC for their ongoing health education and training requirements.

If your organization would like to request training, contact Kerri Shutt, Education Manager, at (641) 774-3347 or kshutt@lchcia.com.
