East Central District Health Department

East Central District Health Department serves Boone, Colfax, Nance and Platte counties, from 4321 41st Ave in Columbus. Nebraska local health departments handle the public health work no single town could staff: immunization clinics, WIC, communicable disease investigation, restaurant and pool inspection, emergency preparedness, tobacco and substance prevention, and health education. There are twenty of them covering the whole state, and each is governed by a board drawn from the counties it serves.
