A Message From the Health Commissioner, Terry Allan, R.S., M.P.H.
From the onset of 2005, it was apparent that the future would signify a new
beginning for all of us at the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. With the
move to our new building in December 2003, it is now very clear that our
facility has become a major asset to our community. Features such as our
range of conference rooms along with our state of the art audio visual system
and satellite communication capacity allows us to host multiple meetings,
trainings and other public education events on a daily basis. In addition, our
on site clinic has substantially expanded our level of service in meeting the
growing clinical needs of our citizens. We have always been very proud and
amazed by the quality and professional capacity of our entire staff. This new
building continues to bring out our best.
In 2007, we will continue to face all of our challenges head on and capitalize on every
opportunity to deliver the level of service that our communities have come to expect from us. That
is our promise.
