Tennessee Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH joined other state and local officials Tuesday, April 24 at an open house at the new Cannon County Health Department and Community Health Center in Woodbury.
The Cannon County Health Department received $750,000 from the Health Resources and Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through a Health Infrastructure Investment Program grant. Other funds for the new building were provided the state of Tennessee and the land was donated by Cannon County.
The new building has more exams rooms than the previous facility, a dental wing with two dental chairs and a modernized conference and training room for patient education and staff development opportunities. Approximately 5,362 Cannon County residents are considered low-income and qualify for services at the Cannon County Health Department and Community Health Center on the sliding fee scale.
