Disease
prevention and health promotion protect entire communities, not
just individuals, from communicable disease, epidemics, and contaminated
food and water. All Columbia County citizens benefit from things
like safe water, adequate waste treatment, safe food and restaurants,
infectious disease control, immunized children, healthy moms
and babies,and emergency preparedness.

The
Columbia County Department of Health plays a vital role in these
efforts, collaborating with the New York State Department of
Health, local health care agencies and community organizations.
We invite you to browse through these pages and learn more about
