The Fulton County Public Health Department, under the direction of the Fulton County Board of Supervisors and the New York State Department of Health, seeks to promote wellness, to protect from disease, to prevent injury/disability, to prepare for emerging illness/disease and to assist Fulton County residents in attaining and maintaining optimal health.
Each person and/or their family will be educated in accessing health care and will be empowered to be responsible for the decisions regarding their health care needs.
Many services offered by FCPH are provided free of charge; others have eligibility criteria and sliding fee scales are available for the uninsured.
For immunization, lead testing or car seat appointments call 518-736-5720 to schedule your visit.
Pet immunization clinics are held periodically throughout the year.
A nominal donation is requested.
Clinic dates are advertised in local newspapers, Facebook and posted in town halls.
Clinic pre-registration is available by calling (518) 736-5720 two weeks prior to each clinic.

You need to have some type of public assistance (WIC benefits or below WIC income guidelines, Medicaid, food stamps) and have a valid reason for the car seat. You can contact our Health Educator at 518-736-5719 and ask for an application.
Early Intervention is for children with development delays from birth to age 3. Children are evaluated and if found eligible for the program may receive services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy or special education services (to name some). Children ages 3-5 are evaluated through their local school district Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE) to determine eligibility and services. Both programs are voluntary.
If immunizations were not done in our office, records can be obtained from doctors' offices or perhaps you can contact the school you attended.
