History of Crawford County Health Department
In November 1991, the Crawford County Board signed a resolution to establish the Crawford County Health Department and appointed the Board of Health. Factors influencing the County Board's decision were an unknown childhood immunization rate, a tripled number of TB cases, and increasing sanitation complaints.
In February 1992, the Board of Health signed an Intergovernmental Agreement with Crawford Hospital District to provide the Health Department programs.
In March 1992, the Crawford County Health Department opened in the Commercium Building at 301 S. Cross in Robinson.
In April 1995, Crawford County passed a referendum to assess property tax which provided additional funding for the Crawford County Health Department.
In March 1998, the Crawford County Board, Crawford County Board of Health, and Crawford Hospital District mutually realized that the Health Department had reached an independent level of maturity. Therefore, it was resolved that the Intergovernmental Agreement, having effectively served it's vital purpose of establishing a viable county health department, be terminated as of May 1, 1998. On this date, all Health Department employees were transferred from the employment of Crawford Memorial Hospital to that of Crawford County.
In March 2003, the Crawford County Health Department relocated to a new facility at 202 N Bline Blvd. in Robinson, IL.
