Welcome!

Our department is a human service and regulatory agency that administers a variety of public health programs and activities. We assess the health status of our community and develop policies and plans to meet identified public health needs. Our responsibility includes assuring compliance with Public Health Laws and the Health Codes of Albany County and New York State. Working with many other community partners, our department assures the delivery of essential services to:

• Prevent communicable and chronic diseases, injuries, and disabilities;
• Protect against environmental hazards that threaten health and safety; and
• Promote the health and development of infants and children and the wellness of our citizens and our communities.

I encourage you to browse this web site to get more information about the programs and services that we provide. We have a dedicated staff of public health and administrative professionals who are committed to enhancing the health of our Albany County Community. As you will see, our programs affect everyone who lives in our neighborhoods, eats in our restaurants, works, plays, or even visits us in Albany County! Please call upon our department if we can provide additional information or be of assistance to you.
