Public Health exists to address the health needs of the community and is a means by which our citizens can enjoy optimal health.
In June 2007, the Scotland County Health Department was awarded full accreditation by the North Carolina Local Health Department Accreditation Board. Being accredited validates and reinforces what we already knew about our agency and services. I am proud of our staff and our Board of Health for their professionalism in providing quality public health services to our community. The citizens of Scotland County should also take pride in the quality service that their health department provides.
Please take time to browse through our website, to become more aware of the various services provided by the Scotland County Health Department. The challenges and success we face in public health will be the result of positive, cooperative working relationships with our Board of Health, County Commissioners, County Administration, media, health department staff, other agency partners and citizens.

Rulemaking is an essential function of boards of health. The NCIPH has adapted a web-based module called "The Board of Health Rulemaking Authority:
A Primer for Local Boards of Health" to support volunteers who serve on local boards of health.
This training can be viewed by the entire board together as a group or by board members individually. For more information please refer to our on-line brochure at http://www.sph.unc.edu/content/view/2801/2851/
