Responsibilities
The Ouray County Public Health Agency's mission is to promote and protect the health and environment of Ouray County residents.
The Public Health Agency administers programs that affect the county as a whole. We work to communicate, educate, and offer services that will provide a healthy, safe environment in which to live and work.
Ouray County Public Health Agency is supported by residential taxes, as well as state and federal funding through the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. We also have programs that are grant funded. There are also several small private sector donations provided services for our clients in our County.
