North Shore Health Department Clinics

The North Shore Health Department is able to provide vaccines to children who are uninsured or underinsured. The Wisconsin Immunization Program initiated this policy change on October 1, 2012. Children with health insurance should visit their primary health care provider for their immunizations. The only exception to this policy change is the pertussis-containing vaccine called Tdap. We encourage parents and guardians to plan ahead to ensure their children are fully vaccinated before starting school. If you have questions regarding immunizations, call (414) 371-2980 and request to speak with a public health nurse.

Blood Pressure Screening

Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) webpage for information on how to Measure Your Blood Pressure. In line with CDC recommendations, the North Shore Health Department suggests getting your blood pressure measured:​​

  • ​By a health care team member at a doctor's office.
  • At a pharmacy that has a digital blood pressure measurement machine.
  • With a home blood pressure monitor that you can use yourself.

If it is difficult for you to find a doctor, travel to a pharmacy, or purchase a home blood pressure cuff, please call (414) 371-2980 and request to speak with a public health nurse who will be happy to assist you in locating the appropriate resources.

If you are interested in hosting a blood pressure clinic in your facility or community, please call Jaimie at (414) 916-7029 or email her at [email protected]. Thank you!
