Board of Health

Board Of Health

The Board of Health is the authoritative body for the Lincoln County Health Department. It operates under the powers and duties provided in Washington State Law RCW 70.05.060. The board is comprised of six members: half are elected officials and half are community members, following a legislative change in 2021.

Meetings are open to the public and held every other month in the Lincoln County Commissioner’s Chambers, located at 450 Logan Street in Davenport.
