Health Services

The Health Department is funded through various local, state and federal grants and contracts. A wide range of services is available including family medical care, family planning, prenatal, pharmacy, medical laboratory, dental, community health case management, nutrition counseling, health promotion and disease prevention, diabetes control and prevention, mental health counseling, substance abuse counseling and prevention, and environmental health services. In addition, specialty contract health services are available to those who meet the eligibility criteria.

All of the services provided at the Health Department are free to eligible persons. However, insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare are billed for services provided at the facility. This is done to assist in continuing the operation of the department and to help provide a wider range of services to you.

We have a new, convenient way to order your prescription refills. Please call our Rx Refill Line at 207-817-7444 and leave your name, phone number, date of birth, and the prescription you need refilled. Please speak slowly and clearly to help us process your request without delay. Your message will go directly to our pharmacy staff. If you have any questions or need assistance, please call our front desk.
