I needed an immunization form filed out and had no idea how to go about it. Called and spoke with two women who told me I did not need an appointment and gave me the hours and where to go. I went to this location on my lunch break. The women who helped me were kind and helpful and had me out of there within 20 minutes, no appointment. It was a slow day, so I'm sure that helped, but everyone was very helpful.

This review isn't for the whole health department, it's just for social services. I really should NAME drop my caseworker. I wish I had time to file a compliant against my caseworker and how she handled my case. I applied for help after my injury, so I was temporally disabled and out of work. My caseworker dragged her feet with my case until the point where SHE was behind 40 days like it was my fault. I called numerous times to follow up with my case, I went to the office, I even spoke with the receptions thank God she was there to help because my case worker wasn't. But in the end, I didn't get any help. I was put in a bad situation. Then shortly thereafter they ran out of funding. Just be careful, because in my opinion she didn't care enough. She didn't even take the time to fully review my application. Because she questioned about some other assistance I needed and I said "yes ma'am it was on my application." Then she stated wasn't "aware."

My kids were seen 7/18 at 5:15 & 5:30pm. Everyone we came into contact with was so kind and pleasant. Special shout-out to the Nurse that actually administered the immunizations! She was so patient, caring and did a great job overall. This was an appointment I was not looking forward to and everyone there really turned that around. Thanks you all! ❤️

THEY AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR HEALTH - ANIMALS ARE TREATED WITH MORE RESPECT. After over two hours just in "wait time" - sitting around being ignored - one excuse after another for gross incompetence - only five minutes of time with P.A. attempting to argue why "not" to provide proper medical care - I am so done. Next step filing formal complaint to medical board. This facility is a prime example of everything WRONG in Healthcare. The community deserves better than this absolute lack of professionalism, lack of proper education and devoid of common decency.

I visited the health clinic side of the department as my GP wait was over a month. My visit was very efficient and every person I interacted with from check in to RN to blood work was cordial, kind and excellent communicators helping me get access to the portal , what to expect and where to go next. What a wonderful resource in the community
