Champaign-Urbana Public Health District

The Champaign-Urbana Public Health District (CUPHD) has worked since 1937 to prevent disease and promote public health. In 1996, the Champaign County Public Health Department was formed by a referendum of county voters bringing many of the same public health services to Champaign County residents living outside Champaign-Urbana. Together these agencies provide a host of vital services. Public health services include, but are not limited to: dental services; environmental health inspections and permits; disease tracking, reporting, and investigation; HIV counseling and testing, prevention, and management; sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment; family planning services; education and health promotion; preventive services and case management for women; immunizations; and an array of other services to pregnant women, children, teenagers, and adults of all ages.
