Tillamook County Health Department

What Tillamook County Health Department does

The Tillamook County Health Department is a division of Tillamook County Government in Oregon, operating as a public government entity under the oversight of the Board of County Commissioners. It provides public health services through its Community Health Centers, including communicable disease prevention, environmental health inspections, maternal and child health programs, immunizations, and health education to county residents and visitors. The department is one component of a broader county government that also includes law enforcement (Sheriff's Office, Jail, Parole & Probation), emergency management, Radio Communications, and various administrative departments.

Its underlying technology infrastructure centers on a VHF radio communications system providing voice communication and dispatch for law enforcement, fire, and ambulance services countywide. This system combines county-owned VHF radio equipment with Tillamook County Emergency Communications District (TCECD)-owned microwave links and network transport over county-owned fiber connectivity. The county operates the sole Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) in Tillamook, which answers all 911 calls and originates all public safety responses. A comprehensive plan for an updated countywide public safety communications system is in development to replace the current pieced-together infrastructure.

The entity's business model is government service delivery funded primarily through property taxes, state health department allocations, and federal public health grants. Revenue is supplemented by fees and permits for specific administrative functions (sheriff service fees, concealed weapons permits, fingerprinting, real property sales, transient lodging tax). The go-to-market is direct-to-government service delivery through county offices, the courthouse, community health centers, the Sheriff's Office, and online portals. Customer segments include county residents (primary), visitors and tourists to coastal areas, and local businesses requiring permits and licensing. The department contracts with municipalities such as the City of Rockaway Beach for enhanced police protection services, and partners with TCECD for shared emergency communications infrastructure.
