The Department of Health in Desoto County has recently been informed of calls that look to have originated from our main number, 863-993-4601, asking for personal information. The Florida Department of Health would never call you asking for your address, social security number, or other identifying information, unless we are returning your call. Scammers want to use your data in their fraud schemes, costing you money. Don't let them! If the call seems suspicious, just hang up.
