Hernando County Health Offices Closed Over New Year Holiday

The Florida Department of Health in Hernando County notified the public on December 22 that its local offices would observe holiday closures and adjusted hours spanning late December and early January. The offices were closed on Thursday, December 25 and Friday, December 26. They will be closed again on Thursday, January 1 and Friday, January 2.

Between those dates the department has designated regular operating days. Offices will be open during regular hours on Monday, December 29, Tuesday, December 30 and Wednesday, December 31. Regular office hours are scheduled to resume on Monday, January 5.

This schedule affects routine public health services processed at DOH Hernando locations. Residents who had appointments around the holiday period should verify whether their services took place as planned or need rescheduling. Visitors and those seeking vaccinations, screenings, vital records, or other public health services should plan visits for the open days later this week or after January 5 when full operations return.

For medical emergencies that require immediate assistance, residents are reminded to call 911. The department emphasized safe celebration over the holidays and encouraged the community to seek emergency care when needed.

Local employers, caregivers and families who rely on DOH Hernando for paperwork or health services are advised to account for the closure dates when arranging travel, school requirements and provider referrals. The announced schedule provides a clear window for in person visits before the New Year closures, and a defined date when routine services will resume.

Hernando County residents with questions about appointments or service availability should contact the Department of Health in Hernando County during the listed open days to confirm hours and to arrange any necessary follow up after the holiday period.
