Now accepting new patients!
UCHD’s skilled team has added primary care and sick visits to its scope of care through a new health center model. You can now get a check-up, see one of our nurse practitioners when a sinus infection hits, get a refill on birth control, get help managing chronic conditions like diabetes, and stay up-to-date on immunizations, all in one place.
We don’t believe cost should be a barrier to seeking quality healthcare. In this spirit we accept most insurances, Medicaid, Medicare, and we offer a sliding fee scale and payment plans for people without insurance. No one is turned away for inability to pay.
Primary Care
Primary care is the type of care many of us associate with a family doctor or what we had as a kid; go in once a year for a check-up and shots and see them when you have strep throat or an ear infection. But, when we become adults or we move to a new city, we often lose this routine connection with a health provider.
Starting or maintaining an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider is just as important when we’re adults. Primary care provider offers a wide range of health services focused on prevention, wellness, and treatment for common illnesses. Your primary care provider is often the first point of contact when you have a minor illness or are due for a routine health screening. They also manage chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes and often coordinate a patient’s care with specialists.
Here at the Union County Health Center, our mission is to connect more people with a healthcare provider. If you’re a young adult still searching for a new doctor after leaving pediatrics, or someone who hasn’t seen a doctor in years, finding healthcare can be challenging. Moving to a new area or feeling unheard during visits can add to the difficulty. Remember, seeking a healthcare provider that makes you feel comfortable and valued is important for your well-being. We welcome you – all ages, all genders, and people with or without insurance.
TB (Tuberculosis) Skin Testing
The Union County Health Department provides screenings for Tuberculosis (TB) during our Adult Health Services Clinic on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Appointments are required. This test requires two visits. One visit to have the test administered and the second visit 48-72 hours later for the test to be read. Most private insurances, Medicare, and Medicaid plans such as CareSource and Molina are accepted. A sliding fee scale is available for those without insurance. No one is turned away for inability to pay. For more information contact 937-642-2053.

What Parents Need to Know About Childhood Vaccinations
- Vaccines protect your child from serious illnesses. Immunizations help prevent diseases. Many of which can be life-threatening or cause long-term complications.
- Vaccination schedules are designed for safety and effectiveness. The CDC-recommended schedule is based on your child’s age and immune system, ensuring they get protection when they need it most.
- Staying up to date keeps your child—and community—healthy. Keeping your child vaccinated helps protect those around them, including babies, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.

Adults
Adult Vaccinations
- Vaccines aren’t just for kids—adults need protection too. Immunity can fade over time, and adults may be at risk for diseases like shingles, pneumonia, and flu.
- Staying up to date on vaccines helps prevent serious illness. Routine vaccines like Tdap, flu, and COVID-19 boosters help protect you and those around you, especially if you have underlying health conditions.
- Talk to your healthcare provider about which vaccines are right for you. Age, job, travel, and health conditions can all affect which vaccines you may need as an adult.
