PUBLIC HEALTH

The Daniels County Health Department’s (DCHD) mission is to promote and protect the health of our community. DCHD implements various Public Health programs such as Communicable Disease Control and Prevention as well as Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Programs (such as Public Education, Tobacco Use Prevention, and the MT Cancer Control Program).

DCHD provides the following services:
