Public health services are available to all residents and visitors. Citizenship is not required. We do not deny services based on a person’s race, color, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation or national origin. Services are provided on a sliding fee scale, based on family household income and size. The sliding fee scale is determined by the income for each working immediate family member (husband, wife and children up to age 21 still in school and living at home). Documentation of family income and size may be required. No one will be denied services due to an inability to pay.
