The Durham County Department of Public Health has received an award that honors local health departments for outstanding programs.
The department received the Dr. Sarah Taylor Morrow Health Department of the Year Award from the North Carolina Public Health Association for its work with the Partnership for a Healthy Durham, a collaboration of community members and organizations.
The Partnership for a Healthy Durham is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Its several hundred members represent health care, housing, transportation, food, government, education and nonprofits.
The partnership publishes the annual State of the County Health Report and the Community Health Assessment, which identify Durham’s health needs and guide policy decisions.
