BOONE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT

What BOONE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT does

Boone County Health Department (BCHD) is a county-level government public health agency operating under the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), serving all residents of Boone County, West Virginia from its main office at 213 Kenmore Dr, Danville, with satellite services in Madison, Sylvester, and Whitesville, plus a Mobile Health Unit for underserved areas. The department delivers four core service categories: clinical services (immunizations, physical exams, STD testing, health screenings, family planning); overdose and infectious disease prevention (Quick Response Team, Naloxone training, safe syringe disposal); community services (WIC nutritional support via Valley Health partnership, threat preparedness, communicable disease information, blood pressure and diabetes screenings); and environmental services (food establishment permitting and inspections, lodging and campground permits, water well testing, sewage and tattoo parlor permitting, recreational water facility inspections). It also operates a Food Safety Program providing food handler and certified food manager certification courses through accredited providers such as ServSafe.

BCHD's underlying technology stack includes a Mobile Health Unit for field clinical services, a branded mobile application (Boone County WV Health) on iOS and Android for real-time alerts, news, events, and scheduling, online permit application systems, and digital food handler training platforms. The 5-8 person staff is led by Administrator Angela Linville and Health Officer Kathy J. Hill (APRN-BC), supported by registered nurses, sanitarians, and grants/administrative personnel.

BCHD's business model is government-funded: primary revenue derives from county appropriations, state DHHR allocations, and federal/state grants (e.g., Vaccines for Children Program), supplemented by environmental health permit and inspection fees (food establishments $125-$500, lodging $60-$500, water samples $40, tattoo studios $200) and food handler certification fees ($15-$35 per card). The department operates with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no venture funding; it is governed by a five-member Board of Health. The QRT program was recognized as the West Virginia Exemplary Program of the Year by DHHR in November 2023.
