SCHD is a government organization that's suppose to protect the people. They failed me and my family when they refused to send a health code inspector to check my home for 1) not properly working furnace I'm the middle of winter 2) black mold 3) rotted flooring 4) broken window 5) animals in attic 6) chimney separating from structure And much more. Their excuse was because we are in rural are of the county and they don't do that outside of Freeport. Looks like I caught you guys in ur lie, get ready to speak thru attorneys🤣🤣🤣

I was able to get a pap test and mammogram through the Well Women Program! The ladies that helped me from the health department were very nice and answered any questions I had and made sure I knew exactly what I needed to do! This is a great program for women without insurance who can't pay for these very important tests! Thank you!
