The newly remodeled Pinal County Health Department has reopened and now offers additional services and access to important county programs not previously available in the Tri-Community region.
Prior to the remodeling, residents of the area had access to WIC services, and basic public health services such as immunizations. The new clinic now has an office that will allow residents to purchase copies of birth and death certificates and also holds a space for a Family Advocacy Center. The clinic is equipped with new state of the art equipment and has a much more modern design.
The Family Advocacy Center is only open in conjunction with local law enforcement and is accessed during sensitive cases involving child abuse and sexual assault of minors. The center is designed with the needs of the child in mind to provide a safe place for victims and their families for examinations and forensic interviews that may be needed in sensitive cases. Previously, victims would need to travel to San Tan Valley to access these services and forensic interviews.
The clinic building improves access to services and helps local residents to avoid lengthy commutes to access these important community services.
The WIC Clinic and immunization clinic reopened Oct. 1, 2024 and will be open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.. Vital Records offices will be available on Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Immunizations available include Tetanus, MMR, Flu and Covid. They can also administer tuberculosis skin tests on site.
