Two Pima County Health Department programs will be expanding their hours, to better accommodate the needs of the community, as of March 1.

The programs to expand hours are: the STD/HIV Program at 332 South Freeway, and the Family Planning Program at 6920 E. Broadway Blvd. and 175 W. Irvington Road,  each will offer a full array of services from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Family Planning Program, at 3550 N. First Ave., will expand its hours even further, and will be open from 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“We understand that members of the community have busy lives and we need to increase the availability of our services to better serve them,” said Public Health Director Dr. Francisco García, in a recent news release. “In addition to expanding our hours, we are working diligently to streamline the process to ensure that clients receive the same great service in a fraction of the time.”

Clients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis. Family Planning clients are encouraged to call ahead to determine their eligibility for services.
