Public Health
Protects the health of County residents.
Mecklenburg County Public Health (MCPH) is one of four departments that make up the Mecklenburg County Health and Human Services Agency. The department protects the health of County residents by providing clinical services, investigating potential cases of infectious diseases, conducting restaurant, lodging, and nursing home inspections, staffing Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools with nurses, and much more.
Our MISSION is to promote and protect the public's health.
Our VISION is that MCPH assures the health and safety of our diverse and changing community today and for our future generations.
