The Duplin County Health Department operates a Primary Care Clinic and Child Health Clinic five days a week. The decision to staff and maintain these clinics within the Health Department is driven by the low number of primary care and pediatric providers within the county. The clinic provides well visits, sick visits, physicals, and more. The clinics provide care that is person and family-oriented, collaborative, comprehensive, accessible, and equitable. 

Duplin County Health Department provides preventative and primary care for adults and children with a focus on serving the uninsured and underinsured populations. In an area with a provider shortage, the health department is the only medical provider that offers a sliding fee scale, with no required co-payment.

By providing primary and pediatric care to the residents of Duplin County, we enhance equitable access to healthcare services while providing preventative screening and chronic disease management to make the community healthier.
