āœ… Quick answer

Chatham County Health Department quick answer for Savannah residents

The main Chatham County Health Department clinic is the Eisenhower Clinic at 1395 Eisenhower Dr., Savannah, GA 31406. The main phone is 912-356-2441. The second Savannah clinic is the Midtown Clinic at 1602 Drayton St., Savannah, GA 31401, phone 912-651-2587.

Most services are listed as appointment-based. The official Chatham page also says walk-in service is available for STD and HIV testing without an appointment. Still, verify current hours before visiting because schedules and staffing can change.

Vital Records, Environmental Health, pediatric primary care, children’s dental services, TB treatment, and travel vaccines are tied to the Eisenhower location. Do not assume the Midtown Clinic handles those specialty services.
