Need a checkup? Battling a sore throat? Managing diabetes or high blood pressure? You can now get the care you need close to home. The Long County Health Department in Ludowici is now offering primary care services by appointment two days a week.
Nurse Practitioner and Coastal Health District Nursing Director Angela Hartley, FNP-C, is providing these services every Wednesday and Thursday at the health department by appointment.
Available services include:
- treatment for minor illnesses such as strep throat, sinus infections, ear infections, and colds
- ongoing care for chronic conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol
- routine wellness exams and sports physicals, and more.
These services are offered in addition to the department’s core public health programs, such as immunizations, family planning, and STD testing and treatment.
“Residents of our rural counties often have very few options for primary care and sometimes have to travel outside the county for minor illness or chronic disease management,” said Hartley. “We’re excited to now offer quality primary care close to home.”
The Long County Health Department accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and many private insurance plans. Affordable self-pay options are also available for individuals without insurance.
To learn more or schedule an appointment, call the Long County Health Department at (912) 545-2107.
