The extensive flooding a year ago in southeastern Kentucky created immediate health issues as well as lasting challenges. Libby Turner is a nurse administrator for the Kentucky River District Health Department. Turner said it was important for affected residents to maintain their medication regime.
“They were staying in shelters and a lot them left with just the clothes on their back so we had to make sure a lot of people got the medications that they needed and the pharmacies were wonderful with replacing those types of medications,” said Turner.
