St Clair County Health Department

What St Clair County Health Department does

St. Clair County Health Department is a government public health agency established by Resolution of the St. Clair County Board in October 1985 and headquartered at 19 Public Square, Suite 150, Belleville, Illinois. The department delivers mandated public health services to the residents of 18 townships within St. Clair County that are not served by the East Side Public Health District, operating under the governance of the County Board and Board of Health with the Scrivner Foundation as an affiliated nonprofit supporter. Its service portfolio is organized around three divisions: Health Services (Family Health Clinic, Communicable Disease Services including HIV, STD, monkeypox, and TB, plus Health Promotion and Wellness programs such as WIC, immunizations, lead program, and breast and cervical cancer services), Environmental Programs (air quality, food safety inspections, vector control, tanning and body art regulation, pollution prevention, and water and private sewage management), and Emergency Preparedness (planning, Medical Reserve Corps, and public health threat response). Additional ancillary programs include the Residential Sharps Collection Program and the Scrivner Foundation scholarship and fundraising activities.

The department's revenue model is government-funded: it operates as a non-profit governmental public health agency supported by county funding, a tuberculosis tax, public health tax revenues, and grant funding from state and federal partners. Services are delivered direct-to-consumer through walk-in clinics, scheduled appointments, and community outreach, with no pricing publicly disclosed. Leadership transitioned from initial Public Health Administrator Kevin Hutchison (1986-2015) to Executive Director Barbara Hohlt and then to current Executive Director Myla Oliver-Blandford in May 2020, with Mark Kern serving as Chairman of the Board. The department maintains strategic alliances with the CDC, Illinois Department of Public Health, Illinois EPA, Public Health Accreditation Board, NACCHO, Southern Illinois Healthcare Foundation, and area hospitals (HSHS St. Elizabeth's, BJC Memorial) plus the East Side Health District for joint community health needs assessment work.

Technically, the department runs on standard public health information systems and clinical service delivery infrastructure with no proprietary technology stack, AI/ML capabilities, API, or documented integrations. It published a 2021-2026 Strategic Plan and I-PLAN and continues to issue annual reports through 2025, reflecting ongoing operational scale rather than technology-led differentiation. Headcount and budget data are partially stale: 2012 figures showed 70 employees and an operating budget over $5 million (up from 21 employees and $485,161 in 1986), while current firmographics list 30 employees without a corresponding revenue figure.
