Macon County Public Health Center
Medical Center
Why pick this one
Macon County Public Health Center combines primary care, CLIA-certified laboratory services, WIC, youth dental care, and emergency preparedness in Franklin.
Best for
- Macon County residents ages 21-64 without a primary care doctor
- Patients needing clinical testing with a physician's written order

- A patient wants laboratory testing without a physician's written order
- Someone needs dental care outside the stated ages 2-18
