We are a team with the purpose of helping all citizens of Charleston and Kanawha County achieve for themselves, according to each individual's capacity, a state of physical, mental, and social well-being.

Our Vision
We envision a Health Department that is an effective advocate for community health.  We want to be trusted as a source of information, to be responsive to the community's needs and to be public health leaders in Kanawha County and beyond.  We look forward to a time when our team’s efforts, added to those of many others, result in measurable improvement in the health of our population.

Our Values
•   We value TRUST, which is earned when we keep our commitments to people and respect the confidentiality of the personal information they give to us.
•   We value INTEGRITY, which we show when we act according to our Mission, Vision, and Values – even when it isn't easy.
•   We value PERSEVERANCE, meaning we don't give up on our community and we don't give up on ourselves or each other.
