Clayton County Board of Health

Located in the heart of Clayton County in Jonesboro, Ga., the Clayton County Board of Health (CCBOH), Public Health District 3-3 strives to improve the overall health status of the Clayton community. The mission of the CCBOH is to protect, promote, and improve the health of Clayton residents, and as such, we offer both prevention (population-based health) and clinical (personal health) services.

Providing immunizations for school-aged children, inspecting local restaurants and pools for safety and cleanliness, and preparing families for emergencies and disasters are just a few of the population-based services CCBOH provides. We also oversee a number of health promotion initiatives that include, but are not limited to, the prevention of diabetes and hypertension, teen pregnancy, and premature birth.

Early intervention services for children ages 0-3 at risk of developmental delay or poor health outcomes are just one of several clinical services provided by the CCBOH. We also offer: Dental health services for children, which includes screenings and sealants; resources for children with special needs; reproductive health services; screening and treatment for sexually-transmitted infections (STIs), HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis; in-home health education for young and expecting mothers who qualify; and supplemental nutrition and nutrition education for eligible pregnant, post-partum, breastfeeding women, and children from birth to age five (5), through our Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program.

Through a variety of prevention, health, and safety services provided by nurses, health educations, environmental health inspectors, nutritionists, dental providers, and other support staff, the CCBOH works to improve the lives of Clayton residents where they work, play, learn, and live.
