Christian County Health Department

Christian County Health Department Christian County Health Department is a local public health agency with a vision to help the county become an area of safe and healthy people.

In 1968 a public health office was established in Ozark under the auspices of the Ozarks Area Community Action Corporation with funding shared by federal government and the Missouri Division of Health. Two years later the Christian County Health Department was created by a vote of the residents of the county. The CCHD is governed by a five member Board of Trustees whom are elected in a non-partisa

n election and serve four-year terms. CCHD receives nearly one half of its funding from county property taxes. Additional funding comes from state contracts. Other funds are generated from fees for services such as water testing, food permits and wastewater permits. CCHD also receives a modest amount of donations both of a general charitable nature and in appreciation for services provided. CCHD contracts with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) for various programs and services. A scope of work must be completed under the terms of each individual contract. As part of its contracts with the state health department, CCHD utilizes state guidelines for employee qualifications, but maintains a separate pay plan. CCHD is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Services are provided on a non-discriminatory basis.
