Public health is underrated. Everyone here is knowledgeable and kind. If they do not offer a service then they likely know where to send you. Can't say enough about this place.

I highly recommend both this health department AND the wic office! Everyone here is VERY nice and down to earth! The nurse that gives you the shots is a very sweet lady!

I've needed to come here a few times for numerous things and am always overly pleased with the level of kindness and professionalism from everyone in this building. All of the ladies, from the front desk on back are wonderful. It's such a breath of fresh air to deal with such pleasant people. Big thumbs up to Shelby, she made me feel very comfortable, seen and heard at my most recent visit!

Your staff needs addl training on 1st amendment, freedom of press. The health dept is a public entity and recording in the public lobby IS NOT a crime and calling 911 on the public is disgusting. Your staff lied to the police stating the individual was trespassed previously which again was a lie. HIPAA applies to your staff not the public. Your staff has no integrity and public trust is shattered.

I’d rather get my shots here than get them at a drug store or Walmart. I’m sure it’s the same shot at all the places, I just feel more comfortable getting my shots at a medical facility than sitting in a retail store. The service at the Health Department is private, fast, friendly, and professional. Isn’t that worth an extra stop and a few minutes of your day?
