TriCounty Health Department is educating the public on the importance of vital records. Those in need of vital records such as birth and death certificates can now order them on the health department’s website. “It can be helpful to obtain a copy of a birth certificate for situations such as school registry, receiving a driver’s license, getting married, and sometimes even signing up for sports,” shares TriCounty Health. “When someone in your family dies, sometimes it is important to obtain a record of the death certificate for legal purposes, accessing pension benefits, claiming life insurance, settling estates, or getting remarried after becoming a widow or widower.” Visit
