Public Health & Social Services

Health is the foundation of a thriving community. We work with others to build a solid foundation that supports good health for all by making sure everyone has clean air and water, healthy food, and access to healthcare and safe neighborhoods.

Mission: Lewis County Public Health & Social Services strives to encourage local, regional, state and national relationships and opportunities to protect, promote and improve the health of our community.

Vision: A Safe, Healthy and Thriving Lewis County.

These statements were developed and accepted as part of our ongoing strategic planning process. Through strategic planning, we hope to align our strengths and services with the public health needs in our community.

What do we do? Lewis County Public Health and Social Services has put together informational brochures for each of our divisions, available in English and Spanish. For hard copies of this information brochure, please contact CommunityServicesDivision@lewiscountywa.gov.
