Quick answer: what Baldwin County Health Department can help with
Baldwin County Health Department offers WIC, environmental and clinical services to the public. Clinical services include STD testing and treatment, family planning, childhood and other vaccines, and breast and cervical cancer screening. Certified copies of birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates may also be obtained through the health department.
The important detail is that Baldwin County uses multiple offices. The health clinic is at 23280 Gilbert Drive in Robertsdale and is the main route for clinical services and school shots. Environmental and Vital Statistics services are at 22251 Palmer Street in Robertsdale. The Bay Minette branch is at 212 Courthouse Square. WIC also has separate Robertsdale and Foley contact numbers.

Baldwin County Health Department phone numbers by service
Calling the right number matters in Baldwin County because the county has separate clinic, WIC, branch, vital records and Environmental Health contact paths. Use this table before calling or driving.
| Need | Correct phone or office | What to say first |
|---|---|---|
| Clinic services, STD testing, family planning, vaccines and breast/cervical cancer screening | 251-947-1910; 23280 Gilbert Drive, Robertsdale | Say whether you need a clinic appointment, school shots, family planning, STD testing or cancer screening. |
| Vital records and Environmental Office | 251-947-3618; 22251 Palmer Street, Robertsdale | Say whether you need a certificate, septic help, food establishment complaint, environmental permit or inspection question. |

Call strategy that saves time
Start with one clear sentence. Say “I need a school shot appointment,” “I need a certified Alabama birth certificate,” “I have a septic tank question,” “I need WIC in Foley,” or “I want to report a food establishment complaint.” That is more useful than simply asking for “the health department.”
Have the exact details ready: full legal name and date of birth for certificates, vaccine records for school shots, property address for septic questions, business name and address for food or lodging complaints, and appointment location preference for WIC.
Baldwin County Health Department locations and hours
Baldwin County’s health department services are split across Robertsdale, Bay Minette and Foley. Always verify the service location before visiting because Vital Statistics, Environmental Health, WIC and clinic services are not all in the same office.
| Location | Address and phone | Hours or best use |
|---|---|---|
| Robertsdale Health Clinic | 23280 Gilbert Drive, Robertsdale, AL 36567; 251-947-1910 | Health Clinic hours are listed as 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Use for clinical services, school shots and public health clinic routing. |
| Environmental and Vital Statistics | 22251 Palmer Street, P.O. Box 369, Robertsdale, AL 36567; 251-947-3618 | Environmental and Vital Statistics hours are listed as 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Use for certificates, environmental permits, septic and establishment complaints. |
| Bay Minette Branch | 212 Courthouse Square, Bay Minette, AL 36507; 251-937-6935 | 8 a.m.-5 p.m., closed for lunch from 12 p.m.-1 p.m. Call before visiting to verify available services. |
| South Baldwin WIC | 8158 Highway 59 Unit 108, Foley, AL 36535; 251-943-7260 | Use for WIC appointments and nutrition support in South Baldwin. Call before visiting. |
| Robertsdale WIC | 23280 Gilbert Drive, Robertsdale, AL 36567; 251-946-8040 | Use for WIC appointments in Robertsdale. This phone is different from the main clinic number. |
Do not rely only on the building address. Call first if you need an appointment, a certificate, WIC, school immunizations, food manager training, septic records, an establishment complaint or Bay Minette branch service. Baldwin County is large, and driving to the wrong office can waste a full morning.
Map to the Robertsdale Health Clinic
The Robertsdale Health Clinic is listed at 23280 Gilbert Drive, Robertsdale, AL 36567. The official directions say to turn east at the intersection of Highway 59 and Highway 90 in Robertsdale; the Health Department is about one-half mile on the left.
Clinic services at Baldwin County Health Department
Baldwin County Health Department’s clinical services include STD testing and treatment, family planning, childhood and other vaccines, breast and cervical cancer screening, child health-related services and tuberculosis-related public health services. The official clinic contact is the Robertsdale Health Clinic at 23280 Gilbert Drive, phone 251-947-1910.
STD testing and treatment
Call the health clinic for appointment requirements, testing, treatment, confidentiality and what to bring. Do not wait if symptoms are severe or if you believe you need urgent medical care.
Family planning
Ask about available family planning services, appointment timing, cost, required documents and whether services are handled at Robertsdale or another listed branch.
Breast and cervical cancer screening
Baldwin County lists breast and cervical cancer screening as a clinical service. Call 251-947-1910 to confirm eligibility, appointment scheduling and required documents.
Tuberculosis services
ADPH states that TB skin tests, sputum tests and X-rays, if indicated, are available for diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The health department does not perform TB tests for jobs or schools.
Childhood and adult vaccines
Use the health clinic number for vaccine questions. For school shots, the official immunizations page specifically says to call 251-947-1910 to schedule an appointment.
Clinic fax
The health clinic fax is 251-947-5703. Confirm the receiving program before sending private records or forms.
Immunizations and school shot appointments
The Baldwin County immunizations page says to call the Baldwin County Health Department at 251-947-1910 to schedule a school shot appointment. Families should not wait until the first week of school because clinic volume can rise quickly before school starts.
Alabama school and child care immunization rules can require an Alabama Certificate of Immunization. If a student is moving into Alabama with out-of-state vaccine records, the records generally need to be transferred to the Alabama Certificate of Immunization before day care, Head Start or school entry. Bring all vaccine records to the appointment so staff can review what is needed.
For school, daycare or Head Start
- Call 251-947-1910 for a school shot appointment.
- Bring the child’s existing immunization records.
- Bring school or daycare paperwork if you have it.
- Ask whether an Alabama Certificate of Immunization can be completed.
- Schedule early, especially before school starts.
Exemption and record caution
Alabama does not recognize philosophical, moral or ethical exemptions from vaccination. Medical exemptions must be handled through a physician, and an Alabama Certificate of Religious Exemption is obtained from the local county health department. Ask the health department for the current process before relying on older information.

Septic, wells, mosquito complaints and Baldwin County coastal issues
Baldwin County has many property, coastal, restaurant, short-term lodging, pool, mobile food and septic-related issues. The Environmental Office is the correct public health route for onsite sewage systems, solid waste and vector complaints. Applications, fees and permits are required to install, repair, modify or certify sewage systems.
Environmental Health also links to guidance on septic system maintenance, water well disinfection, mosquito complaints and beach water quality results. Because Baldwin County includes coastal communities, visitors, restaurants, lodging and water-related activities, environmental health issues can be time-sensitive for property owners and business operators.
Call Environmental Office for
- Septic tank requests.

- Pool or spa permitting and inspection questions.
- Body art, lodging or temporary food event questions.
