Baltimore City Health Department

The Baltimore City Health Department is the oldest, continuously-operating health department in the United States, formed in 1793, when the governor appointed the city's first health officers in response to a yellow fever outbreak in the Fells Point neighborhood.

We strive to make Baltimore a city where all residents realize their full health potential.
