I recently took my children to this health department to catch up on vaccinations and physical exams and the staff was phenomenal 👏 Best experience ever!!! Kids didn't even cry!

I had to call twice a day for a week straight to finally get ahold of someone in the wic department. Whoever the lady is that handles the calls for the wic center is extremely rude and is not at all helpful she definitely does not need to be in charge of the calls if she can't at least pretend to be nice and enjoy her job.

My experience with Miss Tamekia Grant was a blessing. Miss Tamekia was very helpful and knowledgeable. We are big on customer service and Miss Tamekia was very awesome. Thanks again for your help for my 87 year old mother.
