The Bluffton health department

The Bluffton Health Department is the county's public health clinic for the Bluffton area, at 4819 Bluffton Parkway, Suite 132. It is run by the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH), which took over the public-health side of the old DHEC on July 1, 2024. The clinic phone is (843) 757-2251.

Hours and what it offers

The clinic is open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed weekends. It runs a WIC office. DPH county clinics also offer family planning, immunizations, STD, HIV and hepatitis C testing and treatment, and tuberculosis treatment, but not every service is at every location, so confirm before you go.

Booking and questions

For appointments and to check which services the Bluffton clinic has that week, call the clinic, or DPH's statewide line at 1-855-472-3432. For an emergency, call 911 or go to an emergency room; this is not an urgent care.

The clinic is inland, on Bluffton Parkway near the Bluffton Parkway and Buckwalter area, about the same distance from Old Town as the DMV.

What reviewers say

The office splits people. Several families praise staff who sorted out school vaccination paperwork patiently, including one parent who says a staff member took over and phoned doctors' offices for them, and paperwork that came back faster than promised. The one-star reviews describe rude treatment on the phone and at the desk, and appointments rescheduled more than once. Arrive early for an appointment and ask for a direct number to follow up.
