Wake County Public Health will reopen to the public on Monday, Feb. 23, following a weeklong closure to relocate to their new, state-of-the-art facility.
The new location at 200 Swinburne St., Raleigh offers expanded space, modern amenities and enhanced resources to better serve the community. Services such as immunizations, health screenings and public health programs will all resume on Monday.
"We appreciate the community's patience during this transition," said Wake County Public Health Director Rebecca Kaufman. "Our new facility allows us to provide a more welcoming environment and improved services to meet the growing needs of Wake County residents.”
Wake County encourages clients to visit the new location during regular business hours: Monday–Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Spanning approximately 154,000 square feet across four stories, the new center operates alongside a five-level parking deck with over 500 parking spaces and an adjacent public lot featuring eight EV charging stations.
Services by Wake County Public Health include immunizations, children's dental care, child health, prenatal and women’s clinics, STD testing, refugee health services and other public health outreach programs.
To help ensure everyone’s safety, all staff and visitors will go through a brief security screening with metal detectors and on-site security personnel.
“This new building provides nearly a football field’s worth of space to support Wake residents,” said Wake County Commissioner Cheryl Stallings. “By creating an environment that is accessible and welcoming, we’re ensuring that everyone who walks through these doors has the opportunity to receive the care they need."
Key new features of the building include:
- 88 examination rooms and 20 dental treatment rooms can serve up to 100 patients at once.
- Outdoor amenities and public spaces such as landscaped green areas, shaded shelters, benches and a walking path.
- Centralized front desk and child-friendly waiting areas.
- 1,290 solar panels that generate 560 kW of clean energy, cutting grid consumption by about 25%.
