Henry County Public Health offers programs and services to protect and promote the health of all people in all communities. We focus on preventing people from getting sick or hurt.
Promoting and Protecting Your Health
We also lead the Healthy Henry County Communities wellness coalition that focuses on partnerships and collaboration to improve the overall well-being of all those who live, learn, work, and play here.
One of the Essential Public Health Services is to inform and educate people about health, factors that influence it, and how to improve it.
