Springfield-Greene County Health Department

What Springfield-Greene County Health Department does

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is a joint city-county government agency operating as a department of the City of Springfield, Missouri, providing public health services to residents of Springfield and Greene County. Its core services span immunizations through the Vaccine 417 program, STI testing and treatment, the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program, birth and death certificate issuance, restaurant and food establishment inspections, animal control and rabies prevention, lead poisoning prevention, and well water testing. It also operates the Greater Ozarks Regional Mother's Milk Depot, which collected a site-record 30,388 oz. of breast milk from 56 donors in 2025.

The department's primary digital product is a unified website portal at health.springfieldmo.gov, built on the CivicPlus Content Management System, which functions as an informational and transactional gateway for residents to access services, schedule appointments, view inspection results, and subscribe to news alerts. The portal is Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 AA compliant. No public API, SDK, or mobile application is offered. Distribution is delivered through a single physical headquarters in the Harold K. Bengsch Building, mobile/community vaccine clinics under the Vaccine 417 brand, and the website. Marketing and community engagement run through Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and email/newsletter channels.

As a government public health department, the organization does not generate commercial revenue. It is funded through City of Springfield and Greene County budget appropriations, state agency contracts (including a disclosed $1,838,662 Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services WIC contract for fiscal year 2026), and federal pass-through grants. No pricing is charged to residents for core public health services. Strategic direction is shaped by joint initiatives with regional healthcare systems (Mercy Springfield Communities, CoxHealth), public safety partners (Springfield Fire Department, Greene County Sheriff's Office), and state agencies.
