The Washtenaw County Health Department is a county public health agency, not an emergency room and not the County Clerk’s Vital Records office. Use the health department for public health clinics, disease prevention, WIC, immunizations, TB, HIV/STI services, environmental health inspections and health programs. Use the Clerk/Register of Deeds for birth, death and marriage records.
Select your need below. This finder does not book appointments or replace the county website, but it points you to the correct official starting place so you do not confuse clinic services, environmental health, WIC, vital records, or emergency care.

The main phone number is 734-544-6700. Call first if you need an appointment, vaccine, STI test, TB service, WIC support or program-specific instructions.

What this Washtenaw County Health Department guide covers
Washtenaw County Health Department location, phone number and office routing
The main Washtenaw County Health Department offices and clinics are in the Washtenaw County Human Services Building at 555 Towner Street, Ypsilanti, MI 48198. The main phone number is 734-544-6700. Many clinic services are connected to this location, including immunizations, WIC, sexual health, TB, hearing and vision, lead testing, pregnancy testing and related public health services.
Do not assume every health department service is handled at one front desk. Environmental Health is handled separately through the county’s Environmental Health division, which is located at the Western County Service Center in Ann Arbor. Vital records are handled by the Clerk/Register of Deeds. Community Mental Health is also separate from public health clinic services.
Local visit tip
Parking, building entry, clinic waiting areas and appointment rules can vary by service. If you are bringing children, translation needs, medical records, school forms or WIC documents, call first and ask exactly where to go inside the Human Services Building.
Washtenaw County public health clinic services and programs
Washtenaw County Health Department’s official clinic pages list multiple public health services. These services are focused on prevention, screening, community health and public health protection. They are not the same as emergency hospital care or full private primary care.
How to contact Washtenaw County Health Department for appointments or service help
The safest first step is to choose your service before calling. A WIC appointment, immunization visit, TB follow-up, sexual health visit, dental clinic question, environmental health permit and vital records request do not all follow the same process.
Choose the exact service
Decide whether you need immunizations, WIC, HIV/STI testing, TB, pregnancy testing, dental clinic information, environmental health, restaurant complaint, well/septic record, FOIA request or vital records.
Use the main health department phone for routing
Call 734-544-6700 and ask for the specific service. If you need environmental health, vital records, mental health crisis services or community resources, ask whether you should contact a different office.
Confirm documents, fees and appointment rules
Ask what to bring, whether insurance is accepted, whether fees apply, whether interpreter services are available, and whether walk-ins are accepted for your service.
Use official online pages for forms and updates
Use the official Washtenaw County website for current clinic pages, forms, restaurant reports, well and septic records, health topics, FOIA requests and public health updates.
Washtenaw County immunizations, vaccine fees, school health and records
Washtenaw County Health Department’s immunization section includes available vaccines and fees, COVID-19 vaccines, flu vaccine, diseases prevented by vaccines, immunization information sheets, immunization records, waiver information and school health resources for K-12 schools, preschools and childcare centers.
For parents, the most common issues are school deadlines, missing records, out-of-state records, childcare forms, vaccine waiver questions, and whether a child needs updated shots before school starts. For adults, common issues include flu vaccine, COVID-19 vaccination, travel-related vaccines, Hepatitis vaccines, or proof of prior immunizations.
Parent tip for Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti school vaccines
Do not wait until the first week of school. If records are missing, a child may need provider records, state registry lookup, appointment availability or vaccine catch-up timing. Start early and bring every record you have.
Washtenaw County WIC: food benefits, breastfeeding support and nutrition help
Women, Infants & Children, usually called WIC, provides healthy foods for children up to age five and pregnant women. Washtenaw County’s official clinic page also explains that WIC offers nutrition education and breastfeeding support.
WIC is not just a food card program. It can connect eligible families to nutrition counseling, infant feeding support, breastfeeding education, referrals and other public health resources. If you are pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding, caring for an infant, or raising a young child, WIC may be worth checking even if you are unsure about eligibility.
Washtenaw County HIV, STI, PrEP, pregnancy testing and sexual health services
Washtenaw County Health Department lists Sexual Health Services for STI/STD testing and treatment, HIV testing and counseling, PrEP, pregnancy testing, vaccinations and more. The official sexual health section also includes pages about benefits of HIV and STI testing, local HIV and STI testing options, partner notification, preventing HIV and STIs, what to expect at a sexual health visit, and appointment fees.
For sexual health services, call ahead or review the official pages before visiting. Ask about appointment availability, testing types, treatment, costs, insurance, confidentiality, results, partner notification, PrEP navigation and follow-up care.
Sexual health visit tip
Write down symptoms, exposure date if known, medications, allergies, last test date and partner notification concerns. This helps staff determine the right tests and follow-up steps.
Washtenaw County Tuberculosis Program and TB follow-up
Washtenaw County Health Department’s official clinic page states that the Tuberculosis Control Program has the legal responsibility for preventing and controlling TB in the community. TB services can include evaluation, testing, case follow-up, treatment coordination, exposure investigation and public health guidance depending on the situation.
If you were told you had TB exposure, abnormal screening results, a positive test, workplace or school TB requirement, or follow-up from a provider, call before visiting. TB follow-up often requires specific instructions, appointments and records.
Washtenaw Environmental Health inspections, permits, well, septic and restaurant reports
Environmental Health is a major part of Washtenaw County’s public health system. The official Environmental Health Inspections & Permits section includes food safety and food licensing, restaurant inspection reports, food service plan review, temporary food establishment permits, food trucks, body art facilities, campgrounds, child and adult care facility inspections, pools and beaches, drinking water testing, water wells, septic systems, housing and sanitation complaints, well and septic records and permits, and more.
This division is especially important for homeowners, restaurant operators, food trucks, event vendors, real estate agents, septic contractors, well owners, childcare providers, body art businesses and residents reporting health concerns.
Environmental health shortcut
Do not call the clinic front desk for a restaurant license, septic permit, well record or foodborne illness complaint unless you need routing help. Start with the Environmental Health Inspections & Permits page and choose the exact program: food, well, septic, pools, body art, housing complaint or records.
Washtenaw County birth certificates, death certificates and marriage records
Vital records are a common source of confusion. The Washtenaw County Health Department is not the main office for certified birth, death and marriage records. The official Washtenaw County Clerk/Register of Deeds Vital Records section explains that birth records for births occurring in Washtenaw County since 1867 are available from the Vital Records office, and death records for deaths occurring in Washtenaw County since 1867 are available from the Vital Records office.
Use the Clerk/Register of Deeds Vital Records pages for birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, certified copies of marriage licenses, genealogy records, military discharge papers, notary commission, veteran identification cards and related clerk services.
Washtenaw mental health crisis, CARES team and community support routing
Washtenaw County public health and community mental health are related but separate. If your issue is urgent mental health crisis, substance use crisis or safety risk, the Health Department clinic is usually not the right starting point.
Washtenaw County health topic information states that anyone in Washtenaw County can call the CARES team 24/7 with mental health questions or concerns at 734-544-3050. For immediate danger, call 911. For suicide or mental health crisis support in the United States, call or text 988.
What Washtenaw County Health Department may not handle
Calling the wrong office wastes time. Washtenaw County Health Department handles public health, but many nearby-looking issues belong to another county office, state office, hospital, provider, insurer or emergency service.
What to bring before visiting Washtenaw County Health Department
Most delays happen because a visitor arrives without records, proof, appointment details or the right office. The list below helps you prepare, but always call first because requirements vary by service.
Do not use the Washtenaw health department clinic for emergencies
If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. If you need suicide or mental health crisis support in the United States, call or text 988. If you have urgent overdose, chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe allergic reaction, serious injury, difficulty breathing or immediate safety danger, do not wait for a clinic appointment or web form.
Washtenaw County Health Department is important for public health services, but it is not an emergency department and should not delay emergency medical care.
