Telehealth and county callback options
The Williamson County Health Department advertises telehealth options and also provides an online contact form for residents who want a callback or email from the appropriate staff member.
Ask the Franklin or Fairview clinic whether your specific visit type is currently eligible for telehealth. Not every service can be completed remotely.
The form can route a request to the correct office or department, but the county states that medical staff cannot provide medical advice by email or phone.
