We promote public health in Wasco and Sherman counties in North Central Oregon

We strive so that one day all people will live in a safe environment free from fear of preventable diseases; that all businesses, organizations and individuals will have access to health information and have the desire to promote and be responsible for a healthy lifestyle for themselves and each other. NCPHD is responsible for enforcement and administration of public and environmental health laws of federal, state, and county government. We conduct activities necessary for the preservation of health, prevention of disease, and protection of the public. We do this by following the three core public health functions:

Assessment
Monitoring
Policy Development

Lead poisoning is preventable! A simple blood test can detect lead.
Lead is a toxic metal that can harm people if it enters the body. Children younger than 6 are especially susceptible because their bodies are still developing, and they tend to put hands or objects in their mouths.
Ask your health care provider about getting your child tested. A blood lead test is the best way to know if your child has been exposed to lead.
To learn more about lead and ways to protect children from lead exposure, visit our Lead Poisoning Prevention Program page: ncphd.org/leadsafety or healthoregon.org/lead
