Frequently Asked Question:

Question: I have just recently moved to Macon County and need to see a Doctor. Can I come to the Health Department for this?

Answer: Our Health Department does not have an MD on staff or provide primary medical care. Our services are provided under a set of Standing Orders signed by a Medical Doctor which allows us to perform certain screening tests and treat specific conditions. To determine if we can be of assistance to you, contact the Macon County Public Health Center and ask to speak with a nurse who will direct you to an appropriate source of care.
