About CCHD

CCHD is a certified local health department with approximately 73 full time, 7 part time and 13 PRN employees. We are committed to meeting the needs of the community.

What do well and septic inspections, emergency preparedness, pertussis, flu vaccines, and no-smoking initiatives have in common?

They all fall under the broad umbrella of public health—and they represent only a small portion of the services provided by the Cass County Health Department (CCHD). With more than 25 programs, it’s not uncommon for us to hear, “I had no idea you offered that.”

Public Health Services for Everyone

A frequent misconception is that CCHD serves only low-income families. In reality, most of our programs are available to all Cass County residents, regardless of income or insurance status. Millions of Illinois residents receive services from their local health departments or related state programs. These services may include:

• WIC (Women, Infants, and Children)
• Family case management
• Childhood and adult immunizations
• Tobacco prevention and control
• Health education
• Access to medical and dental care
• Chronic disease support (diabetes, asthma, etc.)
• Family violence prevention
• Injury prevention and farm safety
• Healthy lifestyle programs
• Early cancer detection

Beyond Traditional Public Health

CCHD is also home to several “non-traditional” programs that extend care beyond the clinic walls. Our Medicare-certified Cass County Home Health Agency and Cass Schuyler Area Hospice proudly serve residents in Cass, Schuyler, Brown, Morgan, and Scott counties. Our hospice program is supported by many trained volunteers who provide essential assistance to patients and families—both during hospice care and throughout the bereavement period. We are always in need of additional volunteer – if you are interested in this role please reach out to our office at 217-452-3057 and ask for Mindy Marr.

Comprehensive Medical and Dental Care

We are committed to meeting the community's primary care needs through the Cass County Health Clinic (with locations in Virginia and Beardstown) and the Cass County Dental Clinic. Together, these clinics served just under 6,000 patients in 2024. All locations utilize a fully integrated electronic health record system, and the Cass County Health Clinic is recognized by the NCQA as a Patient-Centered Medical Home. Our focus remains on delivering high-quality, patient-centered care for individuals of all ages.

A Commitment Spanning More Than 30 Years

For over three decades, the Cass County Health Department has been dedicated to providing, protecting, and promoting the health of our community. It is my privilege to lead this organization and to support the well-being of the families who call Cass County home.
