Cole County Health Department

I nneded to get a birth certificate for my son. The room was clean, plenty of seating. Was in and out in 8 minutes.

The nurse seeing patients on 12/13 did not care about patients history. Nothing in the past affects treatment. "TODAY, is it happening TODAY", she barked at me. I realized later when I pondered as to why someone would be so dismissive of all my concerns, real condescending as well. I am still mad. My son was upset, (thanks lady!) But it's that SHE did not understand, she needs to READ UP ON THRYROID disease, and FAMILY HISTORY and how they go together and it may change treatment.

This is about the only place I can get my 10 year Tetnus shot.

This is about the only place I can get my 10 year Tetnus shot. They have always been really nice, with very little wait time. The most difficult part of the visit was deciding how much of a donation I wanted to give them for the shot, as it used to be donations only, no charge. They also assisted me with some information in 2015 about Ehrlichiosis a tick bite infection caused by being bit by a white spotted tick. Human tested positive at hospital. Both dogs tested positive at the Vets. My English Setter did not make it, and passed away. I really appreciated the information they gave me since I had never heard about the Ehrlichia strain, and I was two hours away without internet.

They were very knowledgeable about covid. But I do wish they would report total active cases instead of daily cases I think that community has a right to know!!!
