The Delaware County Health Department (DCHD) received a 2025 Achievement Award from the National Association of Counties, recognizing outstanding efforts to protect and improve public health. The award honors the successful creation of DCHD — the first new county health department in Pennsylvania in more than 30 years. The county was recognized not only for creating the department but for building a bold, responsive model of modern public health. DCHD’s early initiatives include the launch of a 24-hour public wellness line, thousands of health inspections, and a commitment to health equity.
