Promoting Women’s Health and Healthy Babies Initiative
Low birthweight infants (born weighing less than 5.5 pounds) face higher rates of infant mortality, developmental challenges and long-term disabilities. We are working to improve the healthy of our women of child bearing age and reduce the number of low birthweight babies born to Lamar County residents by partnering with social and health care agencies to provide tobacco cessation education, nutrition and healthy lifestyle education, assistance with maternal stress management, and referral to affordable health and dental care.

Dementia Screenings
The Lamar County Health Department recently was selected as one of three health departments in Georgia to serve as telehealth appointment locations through Georgia Memory Net, a non-profit, statewide program developed to address the growing need for Georgians to have earlier access to diagnostic services closer to home.
After receiving a primary care doctor’s referral, an individual can now come with a loved one to a telehealth appointment at the Lamar County Health Department, where a private, designated area is available for them to visit with a specialist through an online video call.
The health department’s clinical staff can help patients log in to their appointment and is available to support them throughout the visit. If the specialist decides any lab work is needed, it can be performed during the same visit at the health department.
For more information, visit district4health.org/memory. For additional information on Georgia Memory Net, including how to get a referral, visit gamemorynet.org.
If you’re caring for a loved one, the Lamar Health Department offers support through its Caregiver Support Group. For more information, call 770-317-9106 or email valerie.presley@dph.ga.gov.
