About Us

The Macon County Health Department (MCHD) is dedicated to protecting and improving the health and well-being of the individuals, families, and communities we serve throughout Macon County. Through a wide range of public health programs, clinical services, education, prevention initiatives, and community partnerships, MCHD works to create a healthier and stronger community for all.

Our services span the many stages and needs of life—from maternal and child health, family support, and clinical nursing services to environmental health, communicable disease prevention, health education, care coordination, and other essential public health programs. Our team of dedicated professionals works every day to connect residents with resources, reduce barriers to care, promote healthy choices, and respond to the evolving health needs of our community.

MCHD is proud to collaborate with local businesses, healthcare providers, schools, community organizations, and other partners throughout the region. We believe strong partnerships are essential to building a healthier Macon County and creating a community where individuals and families have the opportunity to thrive.

At the Macon County Health Department, public health is more than the services we provide—it is our commitment to serving, supporting, and strengthening the community we call home.
