The Lake County Health Department and Community Health Center (LCHD) is an agency that is accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, the Illinois state Department of Public Health, and the Joint Commission. Our goal as an agency is to continue to push the boundaries of what innovation looks like for a public health department that includes environmental health, health promotion and prevention, population health, behavioral health and primary care clinics. Through our efforts of quality and performance improvement, health equity, and instituting a data driven culture, our hope is that we continue to develop the programs and interventions that improve health outcomes of the residents in Lake County independent of their socioeconomic status.
