Message from the Acting Health Officer ~ Gregory Wm. Branch, M.D., MBA, CPE
We are pleased to welcome you to our web site, and invite you to join us in promoting better health and preventing disease.
Good personal health should not be taken for granted. It is the cornerstone of good public health, which is vital for building healthy communities. Our web site has been designed to introduce you to the Department of Health and to assist in finding information about our programs and services, as well as provide links to important information about your health from outside resources including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH).
The Department of Health is divided into eight bureaus, seven of which directly provide programs and services that promote and protect public health to individuals, families and the communities of Baltimore County.
