La Paz County Public Health Nursing Services Offers Care in Parker
La Paz County Public Health Nursing Services operates a Parker clinic providing immunizations, TB testing, HIV and STD testing, family planning and COVID 19 vaccinations with set hours and low fees for many services. This local access point matters for residents who face transportation, cost and limited clinic availability across the rural county, and it also offers volunteer opportunities for community emergency response.
La Paz County Public Health Nursing Services maintains a Parker clinic that provides a range of preventive and sexual health services for residents and visitors. Routine immunizations and TB testing are offered every Tuesday by appointment or walk in from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. TB testing carries a $20 fee payable by cash or check. COVID 19 immunizations are available Monday through Thursday by appointment only, and the clinic asks residents to call for scheduling.
HIV testing and counseling are available Monday through Thursday by appointment with a $20 fee payable by cash or check. STD testing is offered Monday through Thursday by appointment with walk ins accepted, also for a $20 fee payable by cash or check. Family planning services including low cost Pap smears, birth control and STD treatment are provided one day per month. Residents seeking family planning services should call 928 669 1100 for appointment details.
These clinic offerings are a critical access point in a large sparsely populated county where distance to care, limited public transportation and economic strain can delay preventive services. The low cost fees and walk in options for some services reduce barriers, yet the requirement of cash or check for payments may present challenges for people who rely on electronic payments. Appointment only scheduling for COVID 19 vaccines and other services aims to manage supply and staffing but can be a hurdle for residents with inflexible work schedules or limited phone access.
The county also lists volunteer opportunities for the Medical Reserve Corps and Community Emergency Response Team through the Emergency Management office. These programs can expand local emergency readiness and provide pathways for community members to support public health response and outreach.
To schedule an appointment or confirm current clinic hours and vaccine availability call the La Paz County Public Health Nursing Services phone line at 928 669 1100. Keeping these services running and accessible will require ongoing attention to funding, transportation solutions and payment options to ensure equitable care across La Paz County.
