The Gaston County Health Department is working every day to fulfill its mission - to lead Gaston County in becoming a healthier community with healthy people living in a healthy environment.

We do this by treating disease in our community and preventing its spread, ensuring that all residents of Gaston County have access to affordable, high-quality medical care, working to promote healthier lifestyles in the county through direct outreach, making sure the places you eat, sleep and play are clean and safe, and by wisely managing county tax dollars and the other funds that keep our programs running.
