ABOUT US.
About GCHD
The Grayson County Health Department follows the national model of public health which is to prevent, promote, and protect. There are several different health departments throughout the state. Some health departments are part of a district while others are independent. GCHD is an independent health department. Although independent, GCHD is affiliated with the Kentucky Department for Public Health. GCHD is managed by the Grayson County Board of Health.
Director's Message 2023
Welcome to another exciting year at Grayson County Health Department! As we begin 2023 within our communities, we have rallied around three strategies as a team. These strategies will not only help us to continue vital services; they will also help us to make improvements.
These strategies are:
-
Improve services throughout the entire department.
-
Work to become an even better community resource for public health information.
-
Collaborate with community partners to streamline services thereby helping those that utilize the local health department have access to services even outside the organization.
We are a team committed to acts of service and making sure that the health department is accessible to all of our communities. We believe that public health is the foundation of any healthy community. Therefore, we will continue to work to ensure that Grayson County becomes an even healthier place to call home.
