Mission

As a leader and partner in public health, we protect, improve and promote the health and well-being of our communities.

What We Do

Public health is an essential set of services guaranteed to all citizens. It is a network of local, state and national professionals working together for a safer and healthier community. From restaurant inspections, to health education, immunizations, and disease control and prevention, Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) is a public health agency providing over 20 different programs and services to individuals, families, and organizations across Spokane County.

SRHD is one of 34 public health agencies serving Washington state’s 39 counties. These public health agencies and the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) together make up our statewide public health network. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lead the national public health network.

Under the leadership of Dr. Joel McCullough, who was appointed health officer in 2009, SRHD now has approximately 220 employees, at several locations, and serves a population of more than 475,000 in Spokane County.
