Marshall County Health Department phone numbers by service

What to bring before visiting Marshall County Health Department
A health department visit can fail if you arrive without ID, appointment confirmation, vaccine history, property details, permit forms, payment or the correct office route.
Marshall County health services, immunizations, COVID vaccines, STD/HIV/TB and testing
Marshall County Health Department service listings include family planning, onsite testing, education and outreach, immunization clinics, dental services, blood pressure testing, HIV testing, STD testing, TB testing, arbovirus instruction, COVID testing, Lyme disease testing and lab draws.
Older official page text lists COVID-19 vaccine availability during the week from 9 AM to 11 AM and 1 PM to 3 PM. Because vaccine supply, staffing and public-health guidance can change, call 304-845-7840 before going.
Marshall County lab draws and blood tests: appointment, cost and follow-up rules
The Marshall County Health Department says lab draws are available without a doctor’s order, but they are not walk-in. Users must call the office and speak with a nurse to schedule an appointment. The department also says it does not bill insurance for these lab draws, so there is a direct cost associated with testing.
The department gives an important safety warning: it is not responsible for forwarding results to a provider and is not responsible for treatment of abnormal lab work. Patients must follow up with their primary care physician or appropriate provider.
Marshall County WIC office in Moundsville: phone, address, hours and documents
Marshall County WIC is separate from the main 6th Street health department office. The official West Virginia Department of Health listing shows the Marshall County WIC office at 500 Tele Tech Drive, Moundsville, WV 26041.
| WIC detail | Official listing | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Address | 500 Tele Tech Drive, Moundsville, WV 26041. | Go to the WIC location, not the 6th Street health department, unless staff instruct otherwise. |

| Hours | Monday, Wednesday and Thursday: 8:15 AM–4 PM; closed 12 PM–1 PM for lunch. | Avoid arriving during lunch closure and confirm holiday changes. |
| Website route | Northern Panhandle WIC Facebook link is listed by WV Department of Health. | Use official WV and WIC pages for final eligibility and clinic details. |
What to prepare for a WIC appointment
- Proof of identity for the applicant or caretaker.
- Proof of Marshall County or West Virginia residence.
- Proof of income or qualifying benefit participation if applicable.
- Pregnancy information or child/infant details.
- Questions about nutrition, breastfeeding, benefits, eWIC or appointment changes.
Marshall County Environmental Health services, permits and inspections
Marshall County Environmental Health covers several public protection programs. Official MCHD pages include food establishments, general sanitation, recreational water facilities, body art, lodging facilities, recreational facilities, parks and recreation, child care centers and family daycare facilities, septic installers, septic system records, well testing and resident environmental services.
Food establishment permits, mobile food trucks and food handler cards in Marshall County
Marshall County food-establishment requirements can apply to permanent, temporary and mobile food establishments that prepare, sell or distribute Time-Temperature Controlled for Safety foods to the public.
New food establishments should not wait until opening week. The official page text says plan review should be submitted at least 45 days before operation or construction. Food establishment permits are non-transferable, so a change of ownership may require a new plan review and permit before operating.
| Food service task | Important rule | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| New food establishment | Submit plan review at least 45 days before operation or construction. | Prepare menu, floor plan, equipment, plumbing, refrigeration, business details, applications and fees. |
| Food handler card | Foodservice workers must obtain a food handler card within 30 days of employment. | Cards are valid for two years. Confirm current class dates and fee before attending. |
| Marshall County card | Listed fee: $20 for a 2-year Marshall County card. | Useful only where accepted; verify before relying on it outside the county. |
| Statewide card | Listed fee: $25 for a 2-year statewide card. | Ask whether this is better if you work in multiple WV counties. |
| Person in Charge card | Listed fee: $75 for a 2-year Person in Charge card. | Confirm if your role or business requires this card. |
| Mobile food unit | WV statewide mobile food permit rules and county notice rules may apply. | Confirm whether you need 72-hour county notice, annual permit or temporary vendor route. |
Septic system records, well testing, home loan evaluations and private water samples
The Marshall County Health Department says it retains permanent records of all permitted onsite sewage disposal systems. Septic record searches can matter during home purchases, refinances, remodeling, property transfers, construction planning and loan evaluations.
For private well, spring or cistern bacteriological testing, the old official guidance lists a $136 fee for water sample collection by the health department, plus a separate West Virginia Office of Laboratory Services fee. Always confirm the current fee before scheduling.
Lodging, parks, pools, campgrounds, child care centers and body art permits
Marshall County Environmental Health regulates more than food establishments. Recreational facilities such as campgrounds, parks, playgrounds, organized camps, fairs, festivals and mass gatherings may need a Permit to Operate a General Establishment. Facilities offering food service or pools may need separate food establishment and recreational water facility permits.
Birth, death, marriage and divorce records are not normal clinic services
Do not assume the Marshall County Health Department clinic issues every vital record. West Virginia Vital Registration is the state route for certified copies of births, deaths, marriages and births resulting in stillbirth. County-level records may also involve the Marshall County Clerk depending on the record type and date.
West Virginia Vital Registration lists the cost of a certificate as $12 per copy. Same-day walk-in service is available at the Vital Registration Office at 350 Capitol Street in Charleston, and identification is required for birth or death certificate requests.
| Record need | Likely route | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| State-issued birth/death/marriage certificate | West Virginia Vital Registration. | Certificate fee is listed as $12 per copy. ID and application rules apply. |
| Older or county-level record | Marshall County Clerk may be involved. | Call first and verify the exact record type, date and eligibility. |
| Divorce order/decree | Court or circuit clerk route may be needed. | Do not assume a health department clinic can issue divorce decrees. |
| Legal use | Certified copy from official office. | Avoid random paid sites until official office rules are checked. |
For a broader guide to certificate routing, see our department of health birth certificate guide.
Emergency preparedness, boil order alerts and public health updates
The Marshall County Health Department site allows users to sign up for news and updates, including boil orders and lifts, COVID testing updates, COVID alerts, extra COVID vaccine availability, general health alerts and health services for business.
Preparedness resources include family emergency preparedness guidance and public health response topics. For immediate danger, severe symptoms, fire, violence, overdose, chemical exposure or urgent medical emergencies, call 911 instead of waiting for an alert, email or routine office response.
What Marshall County Health Department may not handle
The health department is the right route for many public-health services, but not every health, benefits, emergency, vital records or property issue.
