The Snohomish Health District was created in 1959 under Washington State Law (RCW 70.46) as the municipal corporation responsible for public health in Snohomish County. A 15-member Board of Health oversees the budget and policies of the Health District. All five Snohomish County Council members sit on the Board of Health, together with ten city council members or mayors representing the 20 incorporated cities and towns in the county. Public meetings of the Board of Health are held monthly. The Snohomish Health District provides a wide range of programs and services that protect and promote the public health in many ways. We always focus on preventing injury and disease. In everything we do to protect and promote the health of the public and prevent illness and injury, Snohomish Health District staff engage in partnerships with other agencies in our community. Such community partnerships are essential to the success of our mission. Together with community partners, we work to keep the growing population of Snohomish County healthy by focusing on prevention. ALWAYS WORKING FOR A SAFER AND HEALTHIER SNOHOMISH COUNTY
