Allegany County has a rich heritage of tight knit communities that celebrate local events and seasons. The Allegany County Department of Health makes an effort to attend many of these events throughout the County each year to provide education.
We cover a wide range of topics from Rabies and Septic Systems to Lead Poisoning Prevention and Communicable Diseases.
Contact us to request our presence at your event.

- Sexually Transmitted Infection Prevention
- Contraception
- Dangers of Sugar Sweetened Beverages
