Assistant Polk County Manager Lea Ann Thomas provides a financial update on the county's health care plans to the Citizen's HealthCare Oversight Committee.
As part of the Polk County’s plan to provide health care to much of its indigent population, the Polk County Health Department has opened its new Health Department clinic in Haines City.
The new health department clinic located at 1700 Baker Ave. E. is an 18,745 square-foot building that replaces the old North 11th Street clinic which was razed more than a year ago when it was decided it was outdated and needed replacing.
