Who We Are

Harris County Public Health (HCPH) is the county health department for Harris County and provides comprehensive health services and programs to the community through a workforce of approximately 700 public health professionals – all dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Harris County residents and the communities in which they live, learn, work, worship, and play. The HCPH jurisdiction included approximately 2.3 million people and over 30 other municipalities located in Harris County (not including the city of Houston).

What We Do

Provide public health services to the residents of Harris County. Through the Be Well Baytown initiative, we are developing a Safe Routes to School and Safe Routes to Parks plan and working with local child care centers to enhance their outdoor space.
