Jackson County Health Department
The Jackson County Health Department, established in January, 1925, provides a wide range of public and environmental health services to Jackson County residents and, in some programs, the region.
Our mission, to provide public health services for disease prevention, health promotion, and protection of the environment, is the driving force behind our programming and community collaborations.
Our services include health education, data analysis, policy and programming, disease surveillance and response, immunizations, family planning, vital records, and emergency preparedness.
