The Roanoke City Health Department is making a pretty big change.
After more than 50 years at this Eighth street location, the health department is relocating to the Roanoke Human Services Building on Williamson Road. The new location is already home to the Department of Social Services and for customers that equals convenience. "Anyone who needs services from both agencies will be able to visit both at one location," said Public Information Officer Robert Parker.
In the meantime, Parker, says patients can still call the health department. "I do want to stress that the health department will be operating. Folks will be at work doing work and able to respond to emergencies. The thing we're losing is that face to face clinical contact."
Here's the complete news release from the Department of Health:
The Roanoke City Health Department is Moving!
