What Auglaize County Health Dept does

Auglaize County Health Department (ACHD) is a county government public health agency headquartered at 813 Defiance Street, Wapakoneta, Ohio, serving approximately 45,920 residents across eight municipalities (Buckland, Minster, New Bremen, New Knoxville, St. Marys, Uniopolis, Wapakoneta, and Waynesfield). Established over 100 years ago and organized under Ohio law, ACHD operates as a unified service-delivery organization with a Board of Health policy body and a Health Commissioner (Oliver Fisher, MS, REHS, appointed August 2014). The department holds national PHAB accreditation (May 2023) and HFA accreditation for its Help Me Grow Home Visiting Program (May 2023).

The agency offers a comprehensive public health portfolio across four functional areas: Environmental Health (food safety licensing, sewage/water systems, pool and school inspections, animal bites, radon guidance); Public Health Nursing (immunization clinics, communicable disease investigation, STI referrals, CMH program for children with medical handicaps); Community Health (WIC nutrition program, Car Seat Program, Infant Safe Sleep/Cribs for Kids, Emergency Preparedness with Medical Reserve Corps); and Vital Statistics (certified birth and death certificates issued in-person, by phone, mail, or online via Vital Chek). Underlying delivery is administrative and regulatory rather than technology-platform based; the agency uses a website, Facebook, monthly newsletters, and community events for outreach.

ACHD is funded through three primary streams: a local 1-mill, 10-year property tax levy (renewed May 2015, based on 1995 valuations); state and federal grants (CDC, USDA, Ohio Department of Health) for programs such as WIC, immunizations, and emergency preparedness; and fee-for-service revenue from vital statistics records, food service licenses, and personal health services. Customer segments are the general Auglaize County population plus targeted groups (WIC-eligible women/infants/children, local food establishments, school districts, and families with medically handicapped children). The department maintains operating partnerships with Grand Lake Health System, Mercy Health/St. Rita's, Lima Memorial, Kroger Pharmacy, Walmart Pharmacy, and county-level agencies for service delivery and emergency response.
