About Us
Proudly Independent
GCHD is an independent health department meaning that we are community-focused and county-operated.
Although affiliated with the state, GCHD has deep roots in Grayson County--and is a proud member of our local chamber.
We work with our local schools, hospital, and other key community partners in promoting local public health.

Our Vision
The vision of GCHD is to improve the physical and mental health of our local community by tackling local health issues, decreasing disease, and helping residents achieve better health through resources offered here at the health department or by collaborating with our community partners.
Road to Improvement 2021
GCHD is investing the time and resources necessary to improve our services. In July of 2021, GCHD started the road to accreditation. Furthermore, GCHD is working on implementing an Electronic Health Records system to improve accessibility--allowing our patients access to their health records via a patient portal.
