What you will find in our Annual Report:

Local health departments are required to provide an Annual Report every year- but how and why we create that report varies by department. Here at the Winnebago County Health Department (WCHD) we want to use these pages to showcase our dedicated staff and share some of the highlights of the previous year. The work depicted in these pages is not an exhausted list of all the things we accomplish day in and day out.
