Williamson County and Cities Health District

What Williamson County and Cities Health District does

Williamson County and Cities Health District (WCCHD) is a local public health district established under Texas law and headquartered in Round Rock, Texas. It provides public health services to all residents of Williamson County, one of the fastest-growing counties in Texas, through a network of public health centers in Round Rock and Georgetown. Its core offerings span clinical services (vaccinations, immunizations, well-woman exams, STI screening), environmental health (food establishment permitting and inspections, childcare inspections, plan review), the WIC (Women, Infants & Children) nutrition program, mosquito surveillance and Integrated Vector Management, disease reporting and outbreak response, emergency preparedness, and indigent healthcare program eligibility screening.

WCCHD operates two notable public-facing digital platforms: an ArcGIS-based Mosquito Surveillance Dashboard tracking mosquito activity, surveillance efforts, and prevention information across the county, and a Respiratory Illness Data Dashboard (launched December 2022) that reports community-level respiratory illness activity. The district holds national accreditation from the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB), initially achieved in 2016 and maintained through reaccreditation in September 2022, making it one of only eight accredited Texas local health departments and the second in the state to earn reaccreditation. Its leadership includes Executive Director Amber Erickson (appointed June 16, 2025), Medical Director and County Health Authority Dr. Amanda Norwood, and Environmental Health Director Lori Murphy; prior Executive Director Dr. Caroline Hilbert led the 2022 reaccreditation effort.

As a government health district, WCCHD is funded by Williamson County appropriations, state grants, and modest permit and inspection fees for environmental health services such as food establishment permits and childcare inspections. Most clinical and preventive services (vaccinations, STI screening, WIC benefits, disease reporting, indigent healthcare screening) are delivered free of charge to county residents. Service distribution is primarily direct, through walk-in clinics, scheduled appointments, and field operations (vector management, environmental inspections), supplemented by digital outreach via the district website, social media, press releases, and the Medical Reserve Corps volunteer program.
