The Tri-County Health Department will completely dissolve on Dec. 31 and in the new year, residents can seek public health services through the individual health departments for Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties.
The health department, called TCHD for short, opened on Jan. 1, 1948 and will close one day short of its 75th birthday.Denver 7+ Colorado News Latest Headlines | December 27, 11am In September 2021, Douglas County left the health department over COVID-related public health orders and measures. It opted to create its own, with far fewer restrictions involving masks and other mitigation measures. TCHD still provided some public health services for Douglas County through 2022.
The following month, on Oct. 26, 2021, Adams County left the health department, citing Douglas County's move among its reasons. The county said it would stay with TCHD through December 2022 while it worked to put up its own health department. Arapahoe County became the third and final county to leave the TCHD in December 2021. Arapahoe County commissioners voted to move forward with the plan to leave the health department after a meeting and public comment. Like Adams County, it stayed in partnership with TCHD through the end of 2022 so it would have time to set up its own department.
