Family services is two blocks south. They have a sign by the road “Dept of Health”. Don’t go there. They do not answer the phone and their doors are locked. ON THE OTHER HAND, the actual Lafayette County Health Dept are open, friendly, quick, and clean. They don’t look like or act like government employees.
