The next phase of renovations to the Patee Market Health Center will cause issues for patients trying to access the building through the main entry.

Starting Monday, Oct. 20 the front door which serves as the main entrance to the health department will be closed. Patrons can still access services but will need to enter the building from the South door for Social Welfare Board services or the Northwest door for Health Department services.

The lobby and access to the elevator will be closed for around two weeks. According to a News Release from the health department, renovations are expected to be complete by the end of October.

Vital records will close Friday, Oct. 17 at 3 p.m. to relocate to the first floor.  Individuals needed to obtain Missouri birth and death records will not be able to do so again until Monday.
