Harnett County Health Department phone, clinics, WIC, vaccines and local health services
The Harnett County Health Department is based in the Government Complex in Lillington, but not every task goes through the same desk. Clinical appointments, WIC, immunizations, STI testing, prenatal care and Environmental Health each have their own process.
The biggest records trap is also worth knowing up front: the Health Department registers and processes local birth and death events, but certified copies are issued through the Harnett County Register of Deeds.
