District 2 Public
Health
Our mission is
to promote and protect the health of people in Georgia wherever they
live, work, and play. We unite with individuals, families, and
communities to improve their health and enhance their quality of
life.
District 2 Public Health is made up of 13 counties in Northeast
Georgia. Each county, along with state grant-in-aid, funds a public
health department that is managed by a County Board of Health.
Each County Board of Health is made up of a County Commissioner,
Mayor of the largest municipality or their designee (who must be an
elected official), Superintendent of the county school system or
their designee, a licensed physician in active practice appointed by
the county governing body, an advocate for consumers of health
services, a consumer representing the needy, underprivileged or
elderly, and a person interested in promoting public health. The
District Health Director functions as the Chief Executive Officer of
each county board.
