Jasper, GA – Beginning Monday, December 15, 2025, the Pickens County Health Department, located at 60 Health Way in Jasper, Georgia, will be closed until further notice due to a mold issue identified in the building that requires professional remediation. Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure a safe environment for both clients and staff, we must temporarily suspend on-site operations during the cleanup process.
However, during the closure, our Pickens staff will continue serving clients by working from the North Georgia Health District’s adjacent health departments in Gilmer and Cherokee counties, ensuring continuity of care. Residents seeking public health services in Pickens should call the health department number at (706) 253-2821 to be routed to the health district’s call center for an appointment in Gilmer or Cherokee County. Current WIC clients will be contacted about their appointments. Residents needing to apply for WIC may call (706) 370-4700.
We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as we complete the remediation process. Updates will be shared as soon as they are available here on the North Georgia Health District website.
