Woods County

Health Department

District 1 - Welcome!

Welcome to the Woods County Health Department website!

The services we provide are not what you would receive from a primary care physician, but instead are Public Health programs that serve the needs of people from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. While many of our services are available to everyone, some do have eligibility requirements.

Services vary as to days, times, eligibility, and fees, if any. The Health Department is an equal opportunity provider.
