Maricopa County public health phone numbers, clinics and service routes
If you live anywhere from Phoenix and Glendale to Mesa, Goodyear, Peoria, Chandler or the wider Valley, “the health department” can mean several different programs. Maricopa County Department of Public Health handles clinics, vaccines, WIC, vital records, disease programs and other public-health services, while food inspections and septic permitting are handled by the separate Environmental Services Department.
Use the service-specific number whenever you can. It is usually faster than calling one general office and being transferred across a county system this large.
What does the Maricopa County Health Department actually handle?
The official agency is the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH). Its services include immunizations, WIC, birth and death certificates, STI/HIV testing, tuberculosis control, epidemiology and disease reporting, public-health preparedness, family programs and selected clinical records.
Vaccines, WIC, vital records, STI/HIV testing, TB programs, disease questions, clinic records and public-health program routing.
Restaurant inspection complaints, food establishment regulation, pools, onsite wastewater and septic permitting.
Severe illness, heat stroke, breathing trouble, serious injury, overdose, poisoning, uncontrolled bleeding or immediate danger. Call 911.

Maricopa County vaccines: appointments, cost and clinic locations
MCDPH operates four immunization clinics serving children from birth through age 18 and adults age 19 and older. The county says vaccines at these clinics are provided free of charge whether a patient is insured, uninsured or under-insured, although insurance is billed when available.
Routine childhood vaccines are available year-round to help families meet school requirements and recommended schedules.
Adult vaccine availability can change by season and supply. Check the current county list before booking.
MCDPH states that foreign-travel vaccines are not available at its immunization clinics. CARES can help locate another provider.
Bring a school requirement, existing immunization record or provider recommendation if you have one.
Call Maricopa CARES at 602-506-6767 or use the county appointment route linked from the official immunization page.
Current immunization locations include Phoenix, Glendale, Goodyear and Mesa.
Insurance is not required, but the county may bill available insurance to help support services.

Maricopa County WIC appointments, documents and Valley clinics
Maricopa County WIC operates multiple clinics across the Valley. Call 602-506-9333 to connect with a clinic or request an appointment. Walk-ins may be served after already-scheduled appointments, so calling first can save time.
Bring accepted ID for each person applying, such as a photo ID, birth certificate or immunization record.
Examples include a current state ID, lease, utility bill, rent receipt or another accepted document showing where you live.
WIC may review recent pay stubs or qualifying program documentation such as AHCCCS, SNAP, TANF or Section 8 paperwork.
STI/HIV testing, disease questions and tuberculosis services
Maricopa CARES at 602-506-6767 is a useful first call for HIV/STI testing information, diseases tracked by the county and help finding vaccines. The Roosevelt Street Public Health Clinic also provides STI/HIV testing and tuberculosis-related services.
Use CARES at 602-506-6767 to ask about current testing locations, scheduling and service availability.
The county phone directory lists 602-372-1407 for the TB Control & Prevention program.
Healthcare professionals and others with reporting obligations should use the official disease-reporting routes rather than a general web form.
How to request records from Maricopa County Public Health clinics
The county Medical Records office supports patients seen in the STI and Tuberculosis clinics at the Public Health Clinic on Roosevelt Street. Records from WIC, childhood immunizations or Vital Registration are handled by those individual programs instead.
STI and TB clinic records use the Medical Records office. WIC, immunization and Vital Registration records have separate routes.
Download the county form or call 602-506-6018 for help obtaining it.
The form can be used for a personal paper copy or to send records to an employer, doctor or another facility.
Submit health information only through the official county process. Do not send medical records to this independent website.
Restaurant complaints and septic permits go to Environmental Services
This is one of the most important Maricopa County distinctions. Restaurant inspections, food establishment complaints and onsite wastewater/septic permits are handled by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, not by MCDPH as a general Public Health clinic service.
Use Environmental Services or call 602-506-6616. Public Health epidemiology may work with Environmental Services during foodborne disease investigations.
Use the Environmental Services inspection resources rather than calling a Public Health vaccine or clinic line.
Use the Onsite Wastewater Systems Program at 602-506-6666 for applications, permits and septic inspection questions.
Septic permits and onsite wastewater applications
The county’s official onsite wastewater page lists online applications for alterations, closure or abandonment, site and soils evaluation, conventional and alternative system design, septic permits and Notice of Transfer applications. Final inspection requests use the county’s discharge-authorization process.
What to bring to a Maricopa County public health appointment
The exact checklist depends on your service. Bring only what the official program requests, especially when health information or identity documents are involved.
