What this Mobile County Health Department guide covers
Mobile County Health Department phone numbers by service
Calling the right program saves time. The main switchboard is useful for general routing, but local users often need a more specific number for appointments, WIC, vital records, medical records, disease control, or mosquito complaints.
Best way to call the right office
Before calling, write down your exact need: appointment, WIC, vaccine, certificate, medical records, STD testing, mosquito complaint, septic permit, or community-health referral. A specific request gets routed faster than a general question like “I need health department help.”
Mobile County Health Department downtown office, address and hours
The official downtown main office is the Keeler Memorial Building at 251 North Bayou Street, Mobile, Alabama 36603. This location is important because it is listed for the main switchboard, vital records, Family Health downtown services, pharmacy access, and Saturday clinic activity.
Official main office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Vital Records is listed for the same weekday hours, with the last client taken at approximately 4 p.m. because processing may take 20 to 30 minutes. The downtown Saturday Clinic and WIC schedule is listed as 8 a.m. to noon.
Mobile County Health Department clinic locations and local service sites
Family Health operates multiple service locations across Mobile County and nearby areas. This helps residents reach primary care, preventive care, women’s health, WIC, and related services without relying only on the downtown office.

If you are not sure whether you need a routine vaccine, school vaccine, flu shot, COVID-19 vaccine, RSV vaccine, or another immunization, use the official MCHD vaccines page and call the correct clinic before visiting. Vaccine availability and appointment paths may vary.
STD testing, HIV testing, rabies questions and infectious disease clinic help

Mobile County environmental health, septic permits and onsite sewage questions
Environmental Health is one of the department’s major service areas. The official page says the Onsite Sewage division regulates permitting, installations, and inspections of onsite sewage disposal systems, including residential and commercial septic tanks in Mobile County.
The department also regulates septic and sewage tank pumpers and requires annual inspection of pump trucks before use. If your issue involves a septic permit, onsite sewage system, environmental inspection, or local health compliance question, use the official environmental health page and verify the current process before submitting forms or hiring work.
Mobile County mosquito complaints, spraying and vector control help
Mobile County Health Department operates Vector Services for mosquito surveillance and control. The official vector page explains that the department uses surveillance data, inspection reports, rainfall data, and service requests to target mosquito spraying routes when conditions support treatment.
Residents may submit mosquito complaints through the official online complaint form, by calling 251-690-8124, or through the listed Vector Services contact options. Official MCHD updates also note rodent-control help, with a separate phone path listed in recent department information.
Community health, teen services, lead prevention and local support programs
Mobile County Health Department also provides community-facing programs beyond clinic visits. Official community-health information describes teen-center work, tobacco prevention, overdose prevention, lead poisoning prevention, fatherhood programming, outreach, education, and case-management support.
Community Health information also lists local case-management support at 251-405-4521 and notes that walk-ins are welcome for certain community-health services at 248 Cox Street. Because programs can change, users should verify the exact service before visiting.
Emergency preparedness and public health response in Mobile County
The Emergency Preparedness Program plans and trains for disasters or emergencies that threaten community public health. This can include natural disasters, man-made emergencies, coordination with partners, and the health department’s role during community-response situations.
The official emergency preparedness page lists office contact 251-410-4383 and weekday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For immediate emergency danger, call 911 rather than waiting on a routine program office line.
What to bring before visiting Mobile County Health Department
Different services require different documents. A prepared visit is more likely to succeed than arriving with no ID, no appointment details, and no service-specific paperwork.
Free vs paid Mobile County Health Department services
Some MCHD services are free or may be offered at no cost, while other services may involve registration fees, certificate fees, permit fees, medication costs, or visit charges. The department’s official pages are the best place to verify current cost details.
Which official Mobile County Health Department page should you use?
The site has several different service areas. Use the exact official page for your need instead of guessing from a general search result.
How to contact the right Mobile County Health Department office
Choose the exact service first
Decide whether you need primary care, WIC, vital records, immunizations, STD testing, environmental health, mosquito control, medical records, or community health support.
Use the correct official page or phone number
Use the MCHD page built for that service. The main switchboard is helpful, but a direct program number is usually faster.
Check the correct location before visiting
Some services are at the downtown office, others are at Cox Street, WIC clinics, or different Family Health locations.
Prepare documents and fees
Bring ID, appointment information, health records, proof documents, property details, or certificate information based on the service.
Verify same-day rules before travel
Clinic hours, walk-in windows, last-client timing, and fees can change. Confirm through the official page before leaving home.
Do not use routine MCHD phone lines for emergencies
If there is immediate danger, a life-threatening medical emergency, severe symptoms, poisoning, violence, or urgent safety risk, call 911. If you need crisis mental-health support in the United States, call or text 988.
Mobile County Health Department phone lines are useful for public health services, appointments, WIC, records, clinics, permits, and program questions. They are not a substitute for emergency medical care or urgent public-safety response.
