Wood County Health Department will hold an open house on Monday, Nov. 20, for the public to view the recently completed Health Center renovations, learn more about services, recognize a public health hero and celebrate some recent achievements.
The Public Health Hero Award will be presented at 2:45 p.m, at the health department, located at 1840 E. Gypsy Lane Road, Bowling Green.
From 3-4:30 p.m., the newly renovated health center will be open to the public for tours and a COVID-19 vaccine clinic will be operating for attendees (bring ID and Insurance card).
As part of the open house, the health department will be celebrating its national reaccreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB). Reaccreditation ensures that accredited health departments continue to evolve, improve and advance their public health practice to serve their communities. Additionally, the health center’s Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) designation was renewed with distinction in behavioral health integration by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
The mission of Wood County Health Department is to prevent disease, promote healthy lifestyles and protect the health of everyone in Wood County. The Community Health Center provides comprehensive medical services for men, women and children. The center welcomes all patients, including uninsured or underinsured clients, regardless of their ability to pay, and accepts most third-party insurance.
