Joanie is very rude and unprofessional. She treats customers with disrespect rather than as a customer. Another problem is the fact that the building is on lockdown and they refuse to allow people to walk inside. You have to call and IF they choose to answer the phone at that particular time, you may or may not receive service. We can walk into Walmart without being harassed during COVID-19, but we can’t walk into the HEALTH DEPARTMENT (the very ones setting rules for public places). How ironic is that?! Joanie needs to learn how to deal with the public properly.

A fantastic low-cost public resource. If you didn't know, this facility provides low-cost or no-cost vaccinations and public health services. The staff are super-friendly and helpful. Less waiting than your typical doctor's office, and they accept most private insurances. Adding to this, they are putting to use an otherwise abandoned building, this is great service and facility offered to residents of Madison County. I am truly impressed.

I walked in and the front lobby was extremely clean and organized and the front desk lady was really pleasant. I sat and waited for my nurse to call me, when the nurse called my name, she greeted me with a smile and talked me through everything and was extremely friendly and it's appreciated. Thanks for making the experience great Molly!
