The New York State Association of County Health Officials (NYSACHO) plays a vital role in protecting and promoting the health of communities across New York State. Representing local health departments and public health professionals, NYSACHO serves as a unified voice advocating for strong, effective public health systems at the county level.

NYSACHO is dedicated to supporting local health officials in their mission to prevent disease, promote wellness, and respond to emerging health challenges. From communicable disease control and environmental health to health equity and emergency preparedness, the organization works to ensure counties are equipped with the tools, resources, and policies needed to safeguard residents

A key strength of NYSACHO is its commitment to advocacy. The organization actively engages with state policymakers to promote legislation and funding that strengthen local health departments. By elevating the needs and perspectives of county health officials, NYSACHO ensures that public health remains a top priority across New York.

Equally important is NYSACHO’s collaborative approach. The organization partners with agencies, associations, and stakeholders—including groups like New York State Association of Personnel and Civil Service Officers—to address workforce challenges, share best practices, and support the professionals who serve on the front lines of public service.

At the heart of NYSACHO’s work is its dedication to the public health workforce. The organization provides training opportunities, leadership development, and forums for knowledge-sharing among local health officials. This focus on professional growth aligns closely with NYSAPCSO’s mission to support personnel and civil service professionals throughout the state.

Together, NYSACHO and NYSAPCSO recognize that strong communities depend on a capable, well-supported workforce—whether in public health or human resources.

As public health continues to evolve, the partnership between NYSACHO and NYSAPCSO remains essential. By working together, both organizations help ensure that counties across New York are prepared to meet today’s challenges and build a healthier, more resilient future.
