Clinical Services
ARHS offers comprehensive clinical services through each of its seven local health departments, conveniently located in each of our seven primary service counties - Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Gates, Pasquotank and Perquimans.

Child Health Services
Primary child health services are provided in an effort to detect problems so that appropriate interventions can begin as early as possible.
The focus of Child Service Coordination (CSC) is the total well-being of the child; emotional, social, health, and environmental. Local agencies work as a team to ensure that optimal level of care for the child is achieved. The program goal of Health Check is to guarantee that Medicaid-eligible children receive all recommended child health services.

Immunizations
Immunizations are provided to children and adults in an effort to prevent communicable diseases such as: polio, pertussis, tetanus, mumps, measles, rubella, diphtheria, and hepatitis. The goal is to have all children fully immunized by two years of age and then to receive recommended booster doses.
Adult immunizations include the annual influenza and pneumonia campaign, in addition to all recommended adult immunizations.

WIC/Nutrition
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a nutrition education and food supplement program for children birth to five and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. All clients must meet medical and financial eligibility requirements.

Maternal Health
Primary Prenatal Health Care services are provided in an effort to reduce infant mortality and ensure that all pregnant women receive the highest level of health care.
The health department maintains a close working relationship with the area's private physicians and local hospitals for the provision of deliveries, emergency and specialized care. High Risk Perinatal Clinic was established to improve the pregnancy outcomes of women with pregnancy complications.
In addition to comprehensive health care, patients receive nutrition education, medical social work intervention, and childbirth preparation and parenting education.
