Local Health Departments
Local health departments (LHD) are leading the community response to COVID-19. They provide vaccinations, boosters, testing, and guidance on quarantine and isolation. They can tell you how to best care for yourself and your family if you test positive for COVID-19.
LHDs promote healthy behaviors and protect the public from health problems and hazards.
Do you:
- Need a rabies vaccine for your pet?
- Feel sick after eating at a restaurant?
- Need to report a potential health violation?
- Have questions about health or sanitary regulations?
- Want to attend a clinic to learn about child safety seats, Lyme disease, radon, or other health topics?
Contact your local health department for more information.
