The Department of Health in Hartsville carries hepatitis C treatment on-site, meaning a confirmed diagnosis moves directly into a managed care plan without transferring to a separate provider. That continuity keeps the treatment timeline shorter and the patient relationship intact from first test through clearance.
Alongside gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV, the clinic runs hepatitis C antibody tests and TB screening. Each backed by on-site treatment protocols and follow-up capacity. Hepatitis A and B vaccines and HPV vaccination are also administered here, with clinical staff managing the dosing schedule directly.

STD stats & rates
How reported STI rates in Sumner County, the county that includes Westmoreland, compare with Tennessee and U.S. averages, based on the most recent 2023 surveillance data. An estimated ~24% of residents are aged 15–34 (ACS), the age group with the highest reported chlamydia and gonorrhea rates nationally.
#37 of 95 Tennessee counties for chlamydia, a higher rate than 61% of the state
| Infection | Sumner County | Tennessee | United States |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chlamydia | 304.8 634 cases ▼ 41% | 517.4 | 492.2 |
| Gonorrhea | 93.8 195 cases ▼ 50% | 186.4 | 179.5 |
| Syphilis (P&S) | 2.9 6 cases ▼ 80% | 14.8 | 15.8 |
| Syphilis (early) | 4.3 9 cases ▼ 63% | 11.5 | 16 |
| Syphilis (late/unknown) | 7.2 15 cases ▼ 73% | 26.4 | 29.5 |

Reading these numbers: reported case rates only count infections that were actually tested for and diagnosed, so they track local screening effort as much as true spread: a higher rate can reflect more testing, a lower one less. Either way, most STIs cause no symptoms, so treat the figures above as context rather than a verdict, and test on the CDC's schedule regardless of how your area looks.
Between 2020 and 2023 in Sumner County, chlamydia has fallen from 392.8 to 304.8 per 100,000 (22%), gonorrhea has fallen from 137.6 to 93.8 per 100,000 (32%), and P&S syphilis has fallen from 8.7 to 2.9 per 100,000 (67%).

Community health context
Sources: CDC PLACES (ZIP), County Health Rankings, CDC/ATSDR SVI, HRSA HPSA, HRSA MUA/P, Neighborhood Atlas ADI. Lower insurance coverage, fewer routine checkups, and a thin primary-care ratio all raise the value of low-cost public clinics and at-home testing in Sumner County.
Local HIV snapshot
Sumner County HIV care continuum (2023)
Sumner County recorded 4.6 new HIV diagnoses per 100,000 (2023), against 14.8 statewide and 13.7 nationally. Among Sumner County residents living with HIV, 80.7% are in care · 75.8% are virally suppressed. Early, routine testing is what moves these numbers: it is the entry point to PrEP, treatment, and viral suppression.
Sources: AIDSVu (Emory/Gilead) · CDC AHEAD · CDC AtlasPlus · CDC NCHHSTP AtlasPlus (county care continuum). The CDC recommends everyone aged 13–64 test for HIV at least once: every lab and clinic listed above offers HIV testing, and free rapid HIV testing is available at a local health department.
Congenital syphilis, passed from parent to baby in pregnancy, is the fastest-rising STI in the country. U.S. cases climbed from 2,163 in 2020 to 3,882 in 2023. It is almost entirely preventable: the CDC recommends a syphilis test at the first prenatal visit, and every clinic and lab listed for Sumner County tests for syphilis.

Local resources & officials
Data & references
Local context
Eastside households in Westmoreland tend to run large: several people sharing a modest footprint, a rent that leaves little cushion, and a workforce schedule that rarely lines up with a standard clinic window. With nearly half of residents renting and unemployment running notably above the national norm, discretionary time and extra spending aren't easy to find, which shapes how and whether routine health care, including STI screening, actually gets scheduled. That calculus matters most for younger adults still building lives here, the people in their late teens and twenties who face the highest rates of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis nationwide.
When unemployment is elevated and most earners aren't in the top income brackets, a visit that costs too much or runs during work hours is a visit that doesn't happen. At the moment, no testing options appear in the listings for Westmoreland itself, so residents are navigating SR 52 to reach the nearest sites, which is exactly why knowing what's listed here, including any low-cost or sliding-scale options, can make a real difference for families and individuals along that corridor.
Getting there
At 3.2/20 on the EPA walkability index, day-to-day errands in Westmoreland generally mean driving: plan on a car or rideshare to reach a clinic, and check each listing's hours and phone before you go.

Two things that actually depend on Tennessee law: who can consent, and whether partners can be treated without their own visit. Everything else about testing privately is the same nationwide (see below).
In Tennessee, a minor of any age can consent to confidential STI testing and treatment on their own, no parental permission is required.
Tennessee permits Expedited Partner Therapy (EPT): if you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea, your provider can give you medication (or a prescription) to pass to your partner, no separate exam or appointment needed for them.
Keeping a test private works the same in every state. Whether an STD test shows on insurance (the EOB), how to test anonymously, and self-pay options that leave no insurance trail don’t change by location.
