Campaigns

The City-County Health Department (CCHD) raises awareness with public information campaigns throughout the year. Our Cover Your Cough campaign reminds everyone to wash their hands and cover their coughs to prevent the spread of many diseases. Our Healthy People, Healthy Community campaign works to educate on the role of each person in the overall health of our community.
