“Throughout the pandemic, people have been less likely to access regular or preventative care,” Susan Ringler-Cerniglia, Washtenaw County Health Department’s Communications and Health Promotion Administrator, said via email. “There is evidence, for example, of children or adults falling behind on routine immunizations.
“People have likely put off screenings, physicals, or other care because of healthcare capacity or concerns about visiting health providers in person.”
Ringler-Cerniglia said the Health Department had to reduce regular services during the pandemic due to demands placed on its clinical staff, particularly with regard to COVID vaccination efforts.
Those wanting to make an appointment for any of the above services should call 734-544-6700.
