They have provided me with great care and concern, I received information with programs they provide. I can only speak on my experience I left with my selfish respect.

The addiction treatment services provided by TPCHD is the best by far of all the other clinics I have gone to. The counselor I have is very caring and nice and super considerate! Most of the time it's very quick too for dosing you are in and out in 5 minutes. I absolutely love TPCHD treatment services!! 👍✔️♥️💯🤗😐❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍♥️🙏

I love this place. The staff is amazing. All the counselors are great to talk too. I especially love talking to kayla! Shes always so bubbly and positive and always puts a smile on my face. Another person who I enjoy talking to is Dave! He Is one of the counselors there and I feel like I can trust him with anything and if I need to be told something that most people dont like to hear hes very gentle and empathetic! And one more person I value there is leo, he is usually in the x booth! Hes always so happy to see me and always asks about my day and how is my recovery going. Almost like a great friend would. He even notices when I am having a awful day and let's me vent and take my anger our on these rubber duckies he had on his desk. Its great. Overall love this place

Lousiest service I have ever dealt with in my 63 years of life. I have repeatedly left messages about a serious horrible mold issue that has kept me ill for over a year now and I just discovered all this mold in the place I have rented the last 2 years - told them repeatedly in messages how bad the mold was and that I have been ill for over a year - and in a week now of about 8 messages on voicemail - no one has even returned my calls. What a screw up system they have - they should all be fired including whoever is in charge who is so poorly over seeing the others!

Where can I get the second booster shot

You can get your booster dose at a healthcare provider, pharmacy or vaccine clinic. We offer lots of helpful resources at tpchd.org/vaxtothefuture!

Can I get a tb test ?

bahere wafula | Aug 12, 2022
Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (Owner) | Aug 13, 2022

We don't offer TB tests, but you have a couple options. 1. If you have insurance or funds to pay, reach out to the occupational health services office. 2. If you don't have insurance, these community clinics offer tests on a sliding fee scale: tpchd.org/home/showpublisheddocument/1719/637741294141470000

Where do folks who have COVID+19 go to get monoclonal antibody treatment early to avoid hospitalization? I understand the federal government pays for these treatments and encourages them, but can get no info from local medical professionals.

Joan Rutherford | Aug 11, 2022
Ruben Ortiz | Aug 12, 2022

The best thing you can do is contact you PCP. He/she can arrange any medical treatments needed.

Received the first moderna shot Feb. 11. When will I be notified for the second dose. Received it at the Tacoma Dome

Randie Bain | Aug 12, 2022
Jacquelyn Vail | Aug 13, 2022

It's the same for me. Got my first shot Moderna Feb 11th at Tacoma Dome They said they would email notification of #2 dose. I have not received any correspondence. And other clinics/ venues want you have both #1and #2 in the same location so they won't give me an appointment. I feel lost !

Would you PLEASE note on your vaccination events which COVID-19 vaccine product is being given?

Gail Scott | Aug 12, 2022
anty drean | Aug 13, 2022

As a Google reviewer, I cannot answer this question, but it's a good one. Look on their website for a way to contact the health department directly.

Are grocery stores which sell bulk foods being asked to temporarily suspend the sale of bulk foods? I have e-mailed Winco Foods in this matter and they say that they do not intend to do that. COVID could easily be spread that way.

I just received a pizza from a local dominos that look like it was put together with separate slices and I’m wonder if was tampered with in any way now. I wish I could post it but I can’t

Ryan Gallegos | Aug 12, 2022
Robert Pirnie | Aug 13, 2022

Did you order it sliced or unsliced? Given the quality of their product, it's not uncommon for slices to migrate from the center of the box during delivery, much like global plate migration.

What can we do with a homeless person living under the bridge off Milwaukee and 167 overpass? She sleeps, eats, under the over pass along the road. There is debris all around her. Is there anything we can do about her.

Nancy Steburg | Aug 12, 2022
Robert Pirnie | Aug 13, 2022

Not really. If she's not a dancer to herself or others, really nothing. A referral to Tacoma Rescue Mission might help. Give them a call.

Where would I send a employee for a drug test for employment

Debbie Johnson | Aug 12, 2022
Izzy Bereal | Aug 13, 2022

I don't know if the health department does private drug testing for employment. I know they have drug addiction services but I am not sure if they specifically do drug testing for employers. I do know you can send employees to a place called LabCorp in Tacoma off 19th street.(3401 S. 19th St #220) You can call them to find out the process for getting drug testing done for your employees. Hope this helps. Good luck!

You can either do it on the 2nd floor in the health department building or you can do it online and print it at home or anywhere else that has internet access and a printer.

This is my first time getting a food handlers card what do I need to do to get the food handlers card.

Sirena Strong | Aug 12, 2022
M1z Und3rst00d | Aug 13, 2022

Go into the health department. The 2nd floor has a couple of help desks as well as computers that you use to get your food handler's card.

I'm new to tacoma. Being a diabetic, is there a place to drop off used syringes

Jill Tindle | Aug 12, 2022
Kimberly Cookson | Aug 13, 2022

They have safe needle disposal boxes in every stall of the bathrooms inside the Health Department. I'm not sure about disposal in Mass quantities though. My father is a diabetic and he takes his needles to his pharmacy for disposal.
