Due to COVID-19 Vaccine administration, our normal health department services are limited during this time.
COVID-19 INVESTIGATIONS AND CONTACT TRACING:
Our team will still be conducting COVID-19 case investigations and contact tracing. You will need to contact the disease investigator working your case at the number they provide to you. You MAY NOT be able to reach them by contacting the health department direct line. We also MAY NOT be taking general COVID-19 calls during certain hours. If you are a close contact and are in quarantine, you will need to contact the disease investigator who is working the case of the positive individual you were in contact with. The positive case should be able to provide you with the name of the disease investigator.
WIC SERVICES:
We will be providing limited WIC services during this time. We will prioritize providing WIC services for participants who are adding new babies and pregnant women wanting to be added to the program. We will also provide formula changes (with appropriate documentation) and WIC participants whose benefits have expired and cannot be renewed without an appointment.
You may call our office at 606-864-5187 Ext 221 beginning at 8am during to inquire about WIC services. Please keep in mind that our phone lines get extremely busy during the day. If you are unable to get through, please continue to call back.
ALL OTHER CLINIC SERVICES WILL BE SUSPENDED DURING THIS TIME.
If you are in need of STD Testing & Treatment, you may contact Grace Health Mt. View Clinic at 606-877-2850. If you are unable to find testing and treatment at another location, you may contact our office.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we are working to vaccinate our community with limited capacity. We will continue to provide updates on COVID-19 vaccinations as we receive additional doses.

For public health emergencies occurring outside of normal business hours, please contact the appropriate authorities or seek the necessary medical attention. Law enforcement, local first responders, local hospitals and health care providers have after hours contact information for Health Department staff and will make the necessary contacts.
Suspected, probable, and confirmed cases of COVID-19 should be reported to the local health department in the county in which the patient resides. When the county is unknown, cases should be reported to the state health department. Reporting should be performed using the Kentucky Reportable Disease Form which should be filled out as accurately and completely as possible and forwarded to the health department within 24 hours of identification. This is essential for rapid case investigation, contact tracing and exclusion of sick and exposed individuals from the population to reduce the spread of disease and prevent further morbidity and mortality. COVID-19-related deaths and cases of Pediatric Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome (PMIS) Potentially Associated with COVID-19 should also be reported.
