Bi-County Offers Extended Summer Hours

 

     Franklin-Williamson Bi-County Health Department is offering extended hours during late clinics for summer months.  In an effort to better accommodate working families, especially those families with children who will need immunizations before entering school in August, late clinic hours have been extended an extra hour.

     During normal operating hours, immunizations are given at the Benton office on Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Immunizations at the Marion office are given on Monday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Late clinics are offered at the Benton office on the first and third Tuesday of each month until 6:00 p.m. and at the Marion office on the first and third Thursday until 6:00 p.m.  Beginning in July and running through September, late clinic hours will be extended until 7:00 p.m.

      For more information about  immunizations or extended late clinics, call Bi-County Health at 618-439-0951 or 618-993-8111 or visit the website at www.bicountyhealth.org.
