The Clark County Combined Health District

What The Clark County Combined Health District does

Clark County Combined Health District (CCCHD) is a county-level public health district organized under Ohio state law, serving all residents of Clark County, Ohio from its headquarters at 529 East Home Road, Springfield. Established in 1920 and operating with a workforce of over 100 public health professionals, the district is the statutorily designated public health authority for the county and is PHAB (Public Health Accreditation Board) accredited. Services are delivered through a multi-divisional structure that includes nursing and clinical services (immunizations, communicable disease management, TB screening, sexual health and wellness, lead testing, vision assistance), environmental health (food protection, body art, swimming pool, sewage/septic, private water wells, air quality, radon, mercury exchange, mosquito surveillance, and nuisance investigations), the WIC nutrition program with lactation support, early childhood programs (Help Me Grow home visiting, Cribs for Kids), health education and promotion (tobacco cessation, substance abuse coalition, safe communities, One2One harm reduction, motorcycle safety), and vital records issuance.

The underlying technology stack is modest and operationally focused: public health information management systems for communicable disease tracking and health data analysis, an Online Inspection Reports system for environmental health (covering food facilities, body art, campgrounds, and pools via OpenGov partnership with Union County Health Department for plumbing), and TB screening using IGRA (Quantiferon Gold) blood testing. CCCHD does not maintain a published API, mobile application, or disclosed proprietary software platform. Distribution channels include four fixed Springfield locations (main HQ, WIC Division at 2685 E. High Street, Sexual Health Clinic at Southern Village Plaza, and harm reduction at the Springfield Soup Kitchen), school-based services, home visiting programs, and community events; GTM is community-led and event-driven, anchored in direct service provision.

The business model is government appropriation-based, not commercial. Revenue streams consist of federal, state, and local government funding (Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Department of Children & Youth, Clark County government), grant awards (Ohio Department of Public Safety for Motorcycle Ohio, HUD Lead Hazard Control), modest licensing and permit fees (e.g., $150/year tobacco retail licenses, food service operation licenses), and limited clinical service fees (e.g., $42 TB IGRA test). No revenue figures are publicly disclosed, and the entity is not privately owned or investable in the traditional PE/VC sense.
