The Health Department began in 1910 in the City of Mansfield.  Today it includes all of Richland County, except the City of Shelby, to protect and promote the health and welfare of the public.

The Health Department is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays.

Our Public Health Clinic provides non-emergency health care services.  Public Health Nursing provides health screenings for all ages.  Environmental Health protects the public from water and food contamination.  WIC provides infant and new mother nutrition.  Call us to talk about more of our many health services.

In honor of Public Health Week 2013, APHA has produced a two minute video about "Return on Investment." Click here to see the video.
