Lead Nurse Mary Huggins (center) conducts a tour of the new health
department building for members of the board of health. With her are Fort
Valley Mayor C. W. Peterson and Dr. Frank Vinson.
Health Board hears of
in services
At the quarterly meeting of the
Peach County Board of Health on
Tuesday, September 27, Lead Nurse
Mary Huggins reported that a number
of changes have been made in an effort
to improve the quality of service to
Peach Countians. “Moving into the
modern building provides an excellent
time to begin implementation of
changes to indicate these im¬
provements,” said Mrs. Huggins.
Mrs. Huggins gave a summary of the
changes: Prenatal clinics will be moved
from Thursdays to Tuesdays. Medicaid
screenings will be moved from Fridays
to Thursdays. The hyperten¬
sion/diabetes screening clinic will be
changed from the fourth Thursday to
the fourth Friday in the each month. In
addition two late teen clinics will be
held each month to provide family
planning services for high school and
college students after regular class
hours.
Mrs. Huggins further stated that all
clinics, except immunizations and VD,
will be by appointment only. It is an¬
ticipated that this will reduce the time
that clients have to wait for services and
will provide opportunities for more in¬
dividualized care.
Clinics not mentioned above are
family planning on Mondays; im¬
munizations on Wednesdays; and
Byron clinic on Friday afternoon.
“These clinics and other services are on
the same days as before,” she said.
The health department personnel
moved into the new building earlier
than planned because of an inoperative
air conditioner at the old building on
N. Camellia Blvd. The personnel con¬
tinued to provide limited service dur¬
ing the move; full service was resumed
at the new building on September 6.
Members of the Peach County Board
of Health -were carried on a tour of the
new facility on Tuesday morning. This
was their first meeting in the new
building.
