Central Connecticut Health District

What Central Connecticut Health District does

Central Connecticut Health District (CCHD) is a regional local health department formed in 1996 and currently serving the Connecticut towns of Berlin, Newington, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield. It operates as an independent entity of local government, governed by a fourteen-member Board of Health and led by Director of Health Charles K. Brown, Jr. Its service portfolio spans five divisions: Clinical Health Services (vaccinations, health screenings, tuberculosis and hepatitis C case management, substance use disorder support), Environmental Health Services (licensing and inspection of 580 food establishments, 59 public pools, 45 motels, salons, and childcare facilities, plus well and septic oversight), Epidemiology Services (weekly disease reporting, reportable infectious disease tracking, tick testing via CAES, rabies prevention), Emergency Preparedness, and community health programs including the Walk This May walking competition and Healthy Connections monthly newsletter.

CCHD's business model is primarily government funding: annual municipal appropriations from its four member towns, supplemented by state grants (DMHAS 'How Can We Help Grant') and federal grants (CDC Overdose Data to Action/OD2A), plus modest fee revenue from environmental health licensing per the schedule effective 7/1/2025. Free services (naloxone, fentanyl/xylazine test strips, COVID-19 support) coexist with fee-based services (e.g., $30 foot care clinic visits, Public Health Nurse position at $69,000/year). GTM is community-led: walk-in clinical services, community events, health fairs, school and municipal partnerships, and direct-to-resident communication through a website, social media channels, and monthly email newsletter. The district reports 1-10 employees and does not develop proprietary technology, relying on standard public health surveillance and inspection tools.
