The Brooke County Health Department works closely with our school systems to assist in different educational and promotional programs to aid in the prevention of disease spread in the county.

Pictured below is Gary the Germ that drops by the kindergarten and Pre-K classes to help them learn about what germs are, how they are spread, and what they can do as children to prevent the spread of germs.
