Southeast Health District

What Southeast Health District does

Southeast Health District (District 9.2) is a regional public health office of the Georgia Department of Public Health, headquartered at 1101 Church Street, Waycross, Georgia. The district delivers community health services through 16 county health departments covering Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Brantley, Bulloch, Candler, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Evans, Jeff Davis, Pierce, Tattnall, Toombs, Ware, and Wayne counties in Southeast Georgia. Its service portfolio spans child health (Health Check, Babies Can't Wait, Children's Medical Services, Children 1st, Early Hearing Detection & Intervention), infectious disease (STI/HIV testing including at-home self-test kits, mail-order condoms), maternal and child nutrition (WIC Program with four farmers market locations), immunizations, environmental health (food service inspections of ~952 establishments, tourist accommodation oversight of 90+ properties, rabies control), emergency preparedness, vital records in three counties, women's health/family planning, health promotion, and teledentistry.

The district operates under a statutory public-sector mandate rather than a commercial revenue model, with funding flowing from the Georgia Department of Public Health and federal public health programs. Services are delivered free or at low cost to Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids members via the Health Check program, and clinic services accept cash, debit, and credit cards. The GTM is sales-led in the sense that residents access services directly through walk-ins, scheduled appointments, community events, and increasingly via self-serve channels (at-home testing, mail-order condoms) and a Walgreens retail partnership for HIV testing events.

Operationally, the district runs with 11-50 employees and relies on standard public health information systems for disease surveillance, epidemiology, and health data management — no proprietary technology stack, no public API, no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The core 'technology' is the 16-county physical distribution network itself, supported by social media (Facebook, Twitter/X), a website (sehdph.org), and basic WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility infrastructure maintained by consultant Heideldesign. As a government state entity, there is no independent ownership structure — the district is wholly part of the Georgia state government public health system.
