The WIC office and staff are just downright amazing people. The process was fairly fast, easy and they care about your health and the health of your children.

There are many handicap parking spaces and many free parking spaces. The building is in excellent condition and the building is clean. The employees are friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the test services offered at this health department. Joseph and I had to make an appointment to take our COVID 19 test. The test given here was very accurate. Overall, I am very happy with the testing and vaccines given in this health department.

Kind of sad that there's no way to report a restaurant after 5:00. Somebody at the health department needs to check out the McDonald's in Sylva. They keep serving people raw burgers. Also, maybe instead of a directory on your phone that you have to search for a person's last name (no clue who that would even be). Just let people leave a message and you sort it out.
