Welcome To Allen County Public Health Website!
Warmer weather has everyone out and on the move. Do you Move Safe?
Move Safe is the Allen County traffic safety initiative dedicated to making our community safer for biking and walking. My favorite Move Safe tip is using our eyes. Using our eyes to be aware of our surroundings, looking where we are going, and making eye contact with others on the road are some of the best things we can do to be safe whether we’re walking, bicycling or driving.
Speaking of using our eyes – keep your eyes open for more Move Safe tips around the community this spring and summer.
In good health,
Kathy Luhn, Health Commissioner

We are honored to work in a community that cares so much about improving the health of its people. Many goals are set for achieving, and great things are in store for Allen County!We had a great morning launching the 2018-2020 Community Health Improvement Plan! Thank you to all who have helped in the creation process and all who spoke this morning. A special shout out to Representative Bob Cupp, City of Lima, OH - Government, Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce, Allen County Public Health, Lima Memorial Health System, and St. Rita's Medical Center for all you did to make this morning happen. So many other community leaders and organizations were present to share successes, challenges and goals for the future and we could not have done this without you all!
