Updated Health Department Web site now online

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department's Web site at www.springfieldmogov.org/health/ index.html has been redesigned, according to an announcement from the department.

The site has a new look, additional links and updated information. Among the information provided by the Health Department's Web site is hours of operation of various clinics, including those that deal with primary care, immunization, pregnancy and children. The site also provides program descriptions and information about disease control and preventive health services, as well as maps, directions and contact information for the Health Department and its clinics.

"The desire to maintain good health requires that we all be armed with timely and accurate information. That is the prime reason for this Web site," said Health Department Director Harold Bengsh.
