HISTORY

Madison County Health Department was established by County Board resolution in August 1994. The resolution provided for the formation of a local health department to provide services to all of Madison County. The former tuberculosis tax is now a public health tax and partially funds the department. The department was first certified by the Illinois Department of Public Health in June 1996.

In August 2002, the Madison County Health Department was relocated from 2119 Troy Rd., Edwardsville, to the former Wood River Township Hospital at 101 E. Edwardsville Rd., Wood River, Illinois.

On June 28, 2006, the Madison County Health Department hosted an Open House to celebrate its first ten years of service.
