Welcome to the Rockland County Department of Health. This site provides up to date information on a wide array of services and programs. In addition to urgent health information, learn about the diverse clinics and children’s services we provide. Access information about environmental health including housing codes and download the necessary applications for permits and certificates. Keep updated on what we are doing to address communicable disease, bioterrorism preparedness, West Nile virus, and how we are addressing emerging health issues.

The Health Department’s mission is to prevent disease, illness, and disability, protect the environment, protect health, and provide necessary care to the people of Rockland County. We are committed to providing the best services possible to the entire Rockland community. 

On behalf of everyone in our department, I urge you to explore our site and access the wide range of information and services we offer.
