Bolender, President Message from the Health Officer This Annual Report is designed to give you an understanding of how public health impacts life in Cecil County. All residents are protected by the public health system. Without it, our individual and community health and well-being would be in jeopardy. The mission of the Cecil County Health Department is to improve the health of Cecil County and its residents, in partnership with the community, by providing leadership to find solutions to our health problems through assessment, policy development and assurance of quality health services and education. We need the community, both individuals and organizations, to participate in our programs and our planning to accomplish this. Participation varies from parents ensuring that their children receive all their immunizations, to community members joining task forces addressing specific health problems, to physicians and other health care providers working together in delivering services to the public.
