The Metro Public Health Department will remain closed Thursday and Friday, January 18 and 19, 2024, after water issues caused flooding at the Lentz Public Health Center Thursday evening. The source of the water appears to be a sprinkler in the main lobby. Nashville Fire Department personnel responded, and Metro General Services is working to assess and clean up the water damage.
"We appreciate the quick response of Nashville Fire and the continued work of Metro General Services", said Director of Health Dr. Gill Wright. "The extent of the damage remains to be seen. We will work with our clients to reschedule appointments and continue serving the community's public health needs."
Events scheduled to be held in the Centennial Rooms will be cancelled through January 26. Any potential additional service changes will be communicated as they are identified.
MPHD clinics had been closed all week due to winter weather. Employees able to work from home will do so during the closure.
