Established in 1826, the Cincinnati Health Department (CHD) is dedicated to safeguarding and enhancing the well-being of Cincinnati residents. As a distinguished figure in public health, CHD champions for accessible health and human services that foster healthy living environments and social welfare without overstating its role. Functioning as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), CHD attends to over 40,000 patients annually through its six primary care health centers that provide medical, ob/gyn, pediatrics, and behavioral health services. Each center hosts on-site pharmacies, with five offering dental services. Moreover, CHD operates 13 comprehensive school-based health centers within Cincinnati Public Schools, catering to the medical needs of over 10,000 students and their families. In addition to its primary care endeavors, CHD emphasizes the reduction of social disparities such as poverty and unemployment that impact public health. It strives to maintain a healthy city by addressing excess years of life lost in Cincinnati neighborhoods, aiming to enhance overall life expectancy and community well-being by 2030.
