Logan County Health District

What Logan County Health District does

Logan County Health District (LCHD) is a government public health entity established in 1920 and organized under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3709 as the general local health district for Logan County, Ohio. Headquartered at 310 South Main Street in Bellefontaine (the county seat), LCHD delivers a comprehensive portfolio of statutory public health services including environmental health inspections (food facility licensing, water and sewage system permits, plumbing, public swimming pools, campgrounds, tattoo/body piercing establishments, solid waste), clinical services (in-house and outreach immunization clinics, communicable disease surveillance and investigation, sexual health services, harm reduction/Narcan distribution), vital records (birth and death certificates), the county-operated Children with Medical Handicaps (CMH) program, and emergency preparedness including Point of Dispensing operations and Medical Reserve Corps volunteer coordination. Operations run Monday through Thursday 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM with 24/7 after-hours public health emergency coverage routed through the Logan County Sheriff's Office.

LCHD operates an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency-certified bacteriological water testing laboratory with 24-hour turnaround and an in-house Indoor Air Quality Program using CO2 and particulate matter monitoring devices. The district has achieved national accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) and operates under a published 2020-2025 Strategic Plan and 2023 Community Health Needs Assessment. Revenue derives from two streams: fee-for-service programs (birth/death certificates, food facility licensing, plumbing and sewage permits, water testing, environmental health inspection fees per an annually published fee schedule) and government funding (tax appropriations, CDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness grants, Ohio Department of Health grants, and OneOhio Recovery Foundation opioid settlement grants for which LCHD serves as fiscal agent). Customer segments include Logan County residents, food service and retail food establishments, property owners requiring well water and sewage permits, schools receiving indoor air quality assessments, and recreation/personal service businesses requiring environmental health inspections.

LCHD has no private ownership, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no investors, and no funding rounds. The district is governed by a Board of Health, accountable to the community through public meetings and annual reporting, and partners strategically with the City of Bellefontaine, the Village of Russells Point, local school districts, the Ohio Department of Health, local HVAC companies, and the Logan County Sheriff's Office for emergency response. Distribution of services occurs through walk-in clinics, scheduled appointments, on-site environmental health inspections, mass prophylaxis POD sites, and a harm reduction wellness vending machine.
