The Delaware Public Health District is a public health agency that serves Delaware County and the cities of Delaware and Powell in Ohio. It functions as a Combined Health District, a structure rooted in the early 1900s when state authorities recognized the need for local entities to address water and food safety, communicable disease control, and healthy environments. Public health governance rests on state law and locally adopted regulations and resolutions approved by a nine-member Board of Health, comprising community volunteers. The district employs a workforce of full- and part-time professionals and support staff dedicated to protecting and improving the health and environment of residents and the surrounding community. Headquartered in Delaware, Ohio, the district serves residents across Delaware County as well as Delaware City and Powell. In 2025, it launched an Infectious Disease Dashboard to provide timely, transparent information on reportable illnesses, reflecting its focus on accessible public health data.
