Background
In October 2021, the Adams County Board of Commissioners made the decision to end the partnership with Tri-County Health Department and create a new health department focusing on the specific needs of the nearly 520,000 residents and businesses in Adams County.
Adams County must work to have a local health department in place by Jan. 1, 2023.
Public Health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work, and play.
