Community Services

For over 50 years the
City of Columbia has been committed to providing public health services through its
Health Department.
These services prevent epidemics and the spread of disease, protect against environmental hazards, promote healthy behaviors, prevent injuries and illness, assure the quality and accessibility of health services and monitor the health of the population.

Community Services

The Office of Community Services helps Columbia's citizens live independent and productive lives by providing social support services, community education and civil rights protections with a goal of equal opportunity for all.
