The Butler County Board of Health was incorporated on February 20, 1920, with the ideal of creating an organization that would strive to help secure the right to a sound body and a healthy life for the citizens of the Butler County Health District. The health department staff continue to strive to achieve this ideal by focusing on environmental health programs, communicable disease control, immunizations, maternal-child health, health education, emergency preparedness, plumbing inspections, and vital statistics. Leadership and guidance is presently provided to the staff by an eight member Board of Health, working to ensure the health of our citizens by maximizing the health of the population as a whole. The Board of Health strives to take every measure possible to secure the right to a sound and healthy life for each citizen. The department is also fortunate to receive support from our township, city, and county officials as well as numerous county agencies. Without their assistance, we could not meet the many challenges that arise.
