Some Pima County health department services to move to new service center

The Pima County Health Department will be moving three services in the Northwest Service Center this summer.

The Northwest Service Center, 1010 W. Miracle Mile Road, will house the Health Department’s consumer health and food safety, vital records and the North Clinic. The moves are expected in June and July, the county said in a news release.

Dr. Theresa Cullen, the department’s director, said the hope for this move to “fill a need for residents in the area.”

“This particular zip code, 85705, is one where we have seen a request for all types of the services that our team offers, from birth certificates to food permits,” Cullen said in a news release. “Making this move is one step in many where we are trying to meet the needs and improve the health status of this community.”

Health and food safety will be operating out of the new center starting June 4, Wednesday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It will be closed each day from noon to 1 p.m. The agency works to educate “businesses and the public on best practices to prevent the spread of foodborne illness, waterborne illness, and public health nuisances.”
