Core offering

South Central Health District is a state public health district that delivers clinical services (immunizations, STD/TB testing and treatment, dental, family planning, HIV specialty care, breast and cervical cancer screening, home visiting), non-clinical programs (WIC nutrition, Children & Youth with Special Needs, diabetes self-management education, fatherhood and healthy start programs), and environmental health services (food service and tourist accommodation inspections, septic and well permitting, rabies control, lead poisoning prevention) to residents across ten rural Georgia counties.

Product overview

South Central Health District is a public health organization offering a comprehensive suite of clinical and non-clinical health services across ten Georgia counties (Bleckley, Dodge, Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Pulaski, Telfair, Treutlen, Wheeler, and Wilcox).

The district also provides online appointment scheduling and health inspection services.
