TRANSIT CELEBRATES 24 YEARS IN SERVICE!

La Paz County Transit invites the community to help celebrate their twentieth anniversary.
 
For twenty years, La Paz County Transit has provided transportation to all people who may not otherwise be able to get to where they need to go.  While priority is given to the elderly, and disabled, anyone can use this transportation service.  The transit operation has expanded over the years to cover Parker and the outlying areas of the county, including  Salome, Wenden, Hope, and Ehrenberg.  It has been a wonderful community resource that has helped people keep medical/dental appointments, get groceries and run errands.
 
In May 1996, the La Paz County Health Department was assigned the task of developing a transit system for La Paz County by Joan Bighead, Greg Upton, and Gene Fisher. We are still going strong. Services are funded in part by WACOG AAA/D.E.S., ADOT and donations.    
 
For more information or to schedule a ride on the La Paz County Health Department Transit System, please call 928-669-6155

Zika Virus

La Paz County and "ADHS continue to monitor the Zika virus situation and we are in regular communication with CDC in order to keep our local public health partners, healthcare providers, and community informed and up to date on the situation. The main way Zika virus spreads is through the bite of an infected mosquito. In rare cases, Zika virus can spread through blood transfusion, through sexual contact, or from a mother to a child during pregnancy or birth. No cases of Zika virus have been reported in Arizona. The best way to protect yourself from Zika virus, and other mosquito-borne diseases, is by protecting yourself from mosquitos."
                                                   -Dr. Cara Christ
