About the Hyde County Health Department

For 70 years, the Health Department has led the way in responding to the health care needs of Hyde County residents.

Our mission is to protect, preserve and promote the health of the residents of Hyde County.

The many varied programs that can be accessed here  include disease prevention and control, preparedness and response to emergent diseases and events, environmental health, home health, in-home aide, medication assistance, WIC nutrition and supplemental food, and personal health programs, such as family planning and child health.   Some of our programs reach across county lines, such as home health and the medication assistance program, to provide the same quality of care to others.

The Health Department’s caring and professional staff is comprised of registered nurses, environmental health specialists, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, billing clerks, medication technicians, nursing assistants, chore providers and management personnel.

It is our goal to always leave our clients and patients knowing we have assisted them in some way.
