Lake Cumberland District Health Department Educator Jelaine Harlow presented the latest health statistics on Adair County at the July 2019 Columbia City Council meeting.
Surveys show that Columbia and Adair County have made improvements in the areas of adults smoking, number of children in poverty and number of teen births. The score for adult obesity, unfortunately, is worse.
She shared priority health issues the LCDHD staff is working on now. The top four goals to continue health improvement are: Substance use, tobacco use, obesity and physical inactivity.

Less than a week after a first reading that would annex Pinewood Shopping Center into the City of Columbia, it had become obvious that the community has mixed feelings on the topic. During Monday’s regular city council meeting Mayor Pam Hoots read an official “Mayor’s Statement” which delayed a second and final vote on the matter.
