Very nice people when having an issue with a landlord

Sad that you are not allowing dogs at restaurants with outdoor public areas. It’s absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for.

I love this place. Maybe it's unusual to feel so strongly about a health center, but I'm really going to miss it. We came here for the travel clinic, and we were totally blown away by how nice everyone was, and how many services are offered at accessible prices. These people are very passionate about public health, and it shows.

I was extremely happy happy when I found out that he short District Health had free COVID-19 test. With today's economy I am dead broke so rather than spending my life savings at CVS, I went there and got two for me and my husband. But to my surprise, there are five tests in a box. So I called back the lady at the reception desk and told her that for the future people coming in. She told me to keep the extra box which I will and hand out to my friends who feel they might have COVID. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THINKING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY!
