Chief Operating Officer's Message

The Cook County Department of Public Health is pleased to welcome you to our website. CCDPH is one of seven affiliates of the Cook County Bureau of Health Services, which brings health care to the diverse communities of Cook County. CCDPH is part of the Bureau's network of three hospitals, a growing ambulatory and community health network of 30 health centers, a correctional health care facility and outpatient infectious disease center.

At CCDPH, our mission is to protect and promote health and prevent illness, disability and premature death among all of the residents of suburban Cook County. As part of the third largest health care network in the country, CCDPH provides more than 150, 000 health service visits each year, including primary health care, family planning, prenatal, diagnostic, immunization and dental clinics. The department also emphasizes preventive approaches to disease and injury through educational programs and educational activities. By working with community partners, including churches, schools, community-based organizations and health agencies, CCDPH maximizes its outreach, range and effectiveness.

This site provides valuable information about the many services and programs available to the residents of suburban Cook County. Health services are available to the more than five million residents of Cook County, regardless of their economic status or ability to pay.

Through this website, we reach out to you and welcome your active participation in the CCDPH community.

Sincerely,

Stephen A. Martin, Jr., Ph.D., M.P.H., COO
