Davis County Health Department: A Leader in Utah

The Davis County Health Department (DCHD) is Utah’s oldest established local public health department and has a proud history of providing progressive public health leadership. Since 2015, DCHD has been accredited through the Public Health Accreditation Board, demonstrating high performance standards and commitment to continuous improvement.

DCHD’s 182 employees are dedicated to serving the county’s growing population of more than 360,000 people and providing quality services to fulfill their mission to “promote and protect the health and well-being of Davis County residents and their environment.”

DCHD consists of a diverse workforce of professionals, including administrators, community health workers, environmental health scientists, epidemiologists, dieticians, health educators, nurses, office specialists and social workers.

Modern community health priorities are complex and rooted in the conditions in which people are born, live, work and age. Collaboration between multiple sectors is needed to generate impact when addressing health through policy and environmental and system-level actions. During the last decade, DCHD has served as the backbone organization of Davis4Health, Davis County’s health improvement collaborative made up of partners from more than 50 different organizations. Together, partners assess community needs and set priorities to create strategic alignment and maximize efforts to increase well-being and reduce health disparities.

Since 2013, access to behavioral health services has been identified as a top public health improvement priority in Davis County. The 2022 Davis County Behavioral Health Directory is one effort to improve access by identifying nearly 300 local resources and providers. The directory can be accessed at davis4health.org.

Additional health improvement priorities include preventing suicide, adverse childhood experiences and opioid overdose deaths.

DCHD strives for all residents to have a fair and just opportunity to live their healthiest lives. Working together to address the drivers of health is a powerful way to improve health and well-being, leading to a prosperous community, thriving economy and high quality of life for all.
