Our mission is to enhance the health and safety of all Taylor County residents by delivering comprehensive environmental and health services. We are committed to equality and accessibility in providing education, prevention, direct care, and ongoing health support. Through robust assessment, thoughtful policy development, and rigorous assurance, we strive to continuously improve our services. We collaborate closely with health, mental health, and environmental agencies, as well as community, state, and federal partners, to foster a well-informed, healthier community. Together, we aim to make Taylor County a safer, thriving place to live, work, and play.

Our Vision

"We envision Taylor County as a model of sustainable health and well-being, where every individual has access to inclusive, high-quality healthcare and preventive services tailored to the unique needs of rural life. Our future includes a well-connected network of modernized healthcare facilities, telemedicine, and mobile clinics that eliminate barriers to care. We aim to foster a culture of wellness, where mental and physical health are prioritized equally, and stigma is replaced with support and understanding. Through collaboration with schools, businesses, and community organizations, we will empower residents to adopt healthier lifestyles, address disparities, and reduce substance use. Together, we will build a thriving health infrastructure that ensures all residents—regardless of age, income, or background—have the tools, resources, and care they need to lead long, fulfilling lives. In the coming years, Taylor County will be recognized for its commitment to health equity, community connection, and a shared vision of a healthier tomorrow."
