The health department has always been helpful, information, and professional. Emerald is our favorite nurse she is always so good with my son giving him shots. Even though she says giving babies shots are the worst!

My daughter received the most amazing care! The entire staff was so courteous, knowledgeable and went above and beyond for her. Brittany, April and Casey were just a few of the staff members that were so informative and extended care to my daughter. We were able to take care of getting everything we needed for a school physical and they answered questions that we had that were non related to that visit. Years ago, when Ms Helen worked there, I was a patient. I believed and trusted in her, personally thought she was the best in the business. I was skeptical going in because of issues with another health care organization. So I decided that I would write this review for anyone who is thinking or needing to use The Health Department services. They aren't just an average health department, The team is composed of amazing people, with a comforting feel of attention to the patient. My daughter was so impressed, she came right out of her shell, as if she'd known them forever. It was a great experience for something rather ordinary.
