HEALTH DEPARTMENT NOTICE
To better serve clients of the Kiowa County Health Department, we are going to implement a change with our clinic appointments.
We will no longer have an Open Clinic Day!!!
We ask that you call and make an appointment for all services. We hope this will give our clients more flexibility and that we can assure you no waiting time. As we transition during the month of December, we ask that you start calling now for appointments for any service you might need. Starting in January, we will only see a client with an appointment. We will work a drop-in as our schedule allows.
