DeKalb County Board Of Health

DeKalb County Board of Health works to protect and improve the health of those who live, work and play in DeKalb County. DeKalb County’s most striking characteristic is the diversity of both its communities and its people. Although the county is mostly suburban, it includes an urban area (part of the city of Atlanta) as well as rural areas. Also, DeKalb’s more than 660,000 residents represent more ethnic groups than any other county in the southeastern United States. The Board of Health continually strives to meet the varied health needs of all the residents of DeKalb County. However, we know that creating healthier communities involves what we all do collectively to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy.
