Mission Statement
The mission of the Pendleton County Health Department is to promote and provide for the overall health of the people of Pendleton County. This is accomplished through clinics, educational material, enforcement, disease control, planning, immunization, technical assistance, inspections, etc. The success or failure of our mission is determined through various means of need assessment and evaluation. These means are program reviews, annual reports, client involvement, program plans, and other agency involvement. Through a coordinated effort from all members of the health department, environmental and nursing and administration, efficient and effective service can be offered to the citizens.
The Pendleton County Health Department is the lead county agency for implementing the public health response to disasters occurring within Pendleton County. Within the WV Bureau for Public health, the Center for Threat Preparedness assists local Health departments with advanced planning and preparation for health disasters.
At all times the Pendleton County Health Department will operate under and within guidelines set forth by the Board of Health and the State Health Department's Bureau for Public Health.
