Public Health

Public Health policy remains an important priority of the Board of Commissioners and the community. To this end the Board of Health was established at the very beginning of the First Class Township status. The Board now consists of nine members of the community either following careers or having a strong interest in matters of public health. The Board meets monthly, with the exception of July and August, and the Township Health Officer reports to them on his activities and acts as a liaison between the Board and the Township Administration.
