Pleasant, North Bay, Norway, Raymond, Rochester, Sturtevant, Union Grove, Yorkville, Town and Village of Waterford, Town and City of Burlington. Our mission is to improve the health of the communities we serve through health promotion, disease prevention, and protection from health and environmental hazards.

At CRCHD, our perspective is that “success is sometimes measured by what does not happen.” To this end, we work with the communities we serve on a broad array of environmental health, community health and preparedness programs to prevent disease and promote well-being. Public health focuses on the whole population and essential services include:

  • Monitoring population health data
  • Investigating health issues and hazards
  • Providing health information
  • Mobilizing community partnerships
  • Enforcing laws and regulations
