Environmental Health is a critical component of the health and well-being of our community. The Environmental Health Protection Section provides services aimed at assuring that the basic ingredients of a vibrant community - its land, food and recreational waters - are safe and healthy. Programs under the Environmental Health Protection Section designated by county ordinance include:

• Food Protection
• Onsite Sewage Disposal
• Recreational Waters
• Vector Control

The Clay County Public Health Center also inspects lodging establishments through a participation agreement with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.
