Education

There are public schools serving the county, but I could not readily locate a single figure for “number of public schools” and “number of students” analogous to your Howell County example.
For example: publicschoolreview.com reports that there are ~4 public schools serving ~1,470 students in the county.
Reading proficiency and math proficiency scores are slightly below the Missouri state average.

Hospitals / Health Care

There is no hospital within the county in Ava or elsewhere in Douglas County; more advanced hospital care is accessed in nearby counties (for example the county document states residents utilize hospitals in Springfield, West Plains).
Primary care and health clinics do exist locally: e.g., Missouri Ozarks Community Health (a Federally Qualified Health Center) serves Douglas County (and neighboring counties) offering medical, dental, behavioral health services.

Electric/Utilities/Telecommunications

I did not locate a clear, county-specific utility/cooperative description (analogous to your Howell County example) for electricity or telecom that covers all the same detail.
If needed, I can attempt to check for local electric cooperatives or telecom providers in Douglas County.

Airports / Closest Large Cities

Closest larger cities:

Springfield, Missouri — a regional hub in the Ozarks, with airport & various amenities.
Branson, Missouri — though a bit farther, known for tourism and entertainment in the Ozark region.
Nearby major airport: The region is served by Springfield (Springfield-Branson National Airport) for larger commercial flights.

Recreation / things to do in nearby region of Douglas County (Ozarks) include: hiking, woods and stream access since it’s in the Ozark terrain.

Things To Do / Natural Features

The county is heavily rural and forested, part of the Ozark region, offering outdoor recreation opportunities (hiking, streams, woods).
Because it is less developed and more remote, the lifestyle is more rural and quiet compared to larger cities.
