Apparently this is the only health department that does not take walk in’s when there is NO ONE in the waiting area. All I needed was to get a vaccination for my child and they were “too busy” for that. As a nurse this is a JOKE.

Been trying to reach the WIC office for weeks now and when they are open no one will answer, kinda ridiculous. The health department is pretty good tho never had issues with them just wished the WIC would get back to me when I applied over a month ago!!!
