Keepin' us safe, one inspection at a time. No seriously, they found some code violations in my basement that was causing all sorts of mayhem before we moved in. Problem fixed -> mayhem averted. Don't forget to test for carbon monoxide buildup!

I love the Western Upper Peninsula Health Department (Hancock)! Everyone there is always nice to me and treats me super good. I always feel safe when I come there, which is really important to me at a health facility. Sometimes I get busy with work and school and forget to make my next appointment as early as I am supposed to, but they always make sure to fit me in wherever they can, ASAP. :) I also don't do well with shots, but they always make it super fast. The only complaint I have is I miss Emily greatly! I wish she was still there. :( Everyone else there is awesome, though, too. I love coming here! I have never once walked in here and someone appeared to be in a bad mood. Don't hesitate to come here. (This is not a work review, but it also seems like it would be a really great place to work as well. I never really considered or thought about it until I started coming there, but I would love to apply for a job here someday when I am done with school and have earned my degree. It's like my dream job now. Maybe they could use me for something one day! :) )
