One of the best places in Aiken! It has the WIC office, Preventative Health (family planning), immunization, and vital records. The people here are simply amazing. You will always be welcomed with a smiling face and if they can't help you they will make sure you have the resources you need before you leave. 💚

I needed my birth certificate in order to get my REAL ID. This was such an amazing experience. Quick, efficient, polite. Every person I encountered in that building was friendly. I wish I got the name of who helped me. She deserves another five stars. I can't say enough good things. 👍

They make it impossible to make appointments and will bounce you around between the local and state extensions until you give up. It wasn't always this way, and this used to be our go-to place to get vaccines.
