The 36 members of the Health Department excel in providing health services to the residents of Madison County, and take pride in achieving the highest County ranking in health outcomes in Central New York.

The Divisions within the Health Department work cooperatively to ensure community health services are compassionately provided, advocacy for early intervention is delivered timely to children in need, conditions in the environment are effectively addressed to minimize adverse health effects, and services are administered in a fiscally responsible manner. The commitment to improve public health was demonstrated by the Department's 2015 accomplishments that include the Breastfeeding Connections Café and achievements of the maternal child health program, the health study engaged in response to community concerns prompted by a gas compressor project, actions taken in response to drinking wells contaminated from agricultural runoff, and initiatives taken to encourage a healthy homes approach that engages both residents and home service providers.
