About North Central Public Health District
North Central Public Health District
Serving Wasco and Sherman Counties
North Central Public Health District is the only two-county local health department in Oregon.
We lead and inspire our community in the creation of an equitable, safe, and healthy environment.
We strive so that one day all people will live in a safe environment free from fear of preventable diseases; that all businesses, organizations, and individuals will have access to health information and have the desire to promote and be responsible for a healthy lifestyle for themselves and each other.
NCPHD is responsible for enforcement and administration of public and environmental health laws of federal, state, and county government. We conduct activities necessary for the preservation of health, prevention of disease, and protection of the public. We do this by following the three core public health functions:
Assessment
Monitoring
Policy Development
