Spokane Regional Health District

What Spokane Regional Health District does

Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) is a local government public health agency serving Spokane County, Washington, and one of approximately 35 local health jurisdictions covering the state's 39 counties. SRHD delivers a portfolio of mandated public health programs including communicable disease surveillance and investigation (70+ reportable conditions), environmental health inspections (food establishments, septic systems, private wells, and 400+ pools/spas annually), maternal and child health services (WIC at six locations, Nurse-Family Partnership home visiting, ESIT early intervention), opioid treatment services, HIV/STI prevention, immunization delivery, and vital records issuance. The agency operates from a main campus at 1101 W. College Ave. in Spokane plus seven satellite locations across Spokane, Spokane Valley, and Deer Park, and reaches additional households through a biennial Quality of Life Survey distributed to up to 15,000 households.

SRHD's underlying technology stack centers on public health data systems rather than commercial software products. The Data Center (operating since 1996) administers the County Health Insights data hub using Tableau visualizations, analyzes large datasets from the Washington All Payer Claims Database (APCD), applies the ESSENCE syndromic surveillance platform, and uses REDCap for outbreak reporting by inpatient facilities. The Data Center team comprises nine staff with expertise in epidemiology, research methods, and program evaluation. The agency holds HIPAA compliance for protected health information and integrates with healthcare system partners on joint Community Health Needs Assessments with MultiCare Inland Northwest and Providence Inland Northwest.

SRHD's business model is government appropriations-driven rather than market-driven. Primary funding flows from Washington State public health financing mechanisms (including Foundational Public Health Services funding) and Spokane County government allocations, supplemented by federal and state grants (Maternal Child Health Block Grant, and others) and modest fee-for-service revenue from vital records ($15-$25 per certificate), food worker cards, septic and pool permits, and food establishment permits. Most direct public health services — including WIC, immunizations, communicable disease response, and home visiting — are provided at no cost to residents. The agency is governed by a Board of Health appointed by Spokane County Commissioners and has no parent company, private equity ownership, or commercial shareholders.
