County Health Department

(Click here to return to the Compacts content depot.)
In June 2004, the Healthy York County Coalition (HYCC) formed a compact with YorkCounts and took the lead in moving forward the effort of establishing a public health department for York County. As a first step, HYCC retained Drexel University School of Public Health to conduct a feasibility study of the concept. Results of that study, released in October 2005, present a strong case in terms of the critical need for services, and the availability of state and federal funding streams to help underwrite county health services.
HYCC has been working to coordinate and oversee two additional components of the project master plan.
In the meantime, task force members have been meeting with various municipal entities to discuss the possibility of a countywide health department.
