In a bid to enhance accessibility and cater to the needs of the community, the Wyandotte County Public Health Department is set to launch walk-in services every Friday, starting March 8.
The county’s health department offers many services for free and doesn’t require health insurance for treatment, making it a lifeline for some. Some programs and services have specific guidelines to be eligible and may have a cost, but in most all cases, the WyCo health department will work with an individual based on their income.
In the past, you’d have to set an appointment at wycokck.org/departments/health to take part in the county’s health and wellness services, but no longer on Friday. Starting Mar. 8, walk-in services are accepted every Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The Wyandotte County Health Department walk-in services include:
- Birth control
- Well-woman exams
- Screening, testing, and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Immunizations for individuals of all ages
- Diagnosis and treatment for various skin conditions
- Evaluation and treatment for ear, nose, and throat symptoms
- Pre-employment physical examinations
Moreover, the health department continues its commitment to community wellness by providing complimentary resources such as free condoms and Narcan (naloxone) on a daily basis within its premises.
For more information, visit wycokck.org/departments/health online or the Wyandotte County Public Health Department —no appointment needed on Friday— in person at 619 Ann Ave, Kansas City, KS 66101.
