Established in July 2002, Chatham Health District (CHD) is a non-profit governmental organization that serves the towns of Colchester, East Haddam, East Hampton, Hebron, Marlborough and Portland Connecticut. 

As a health district, formed under Connecticut General Statutes Section 19a-241, CHD is a special unit of government, allowing member municipalities to provide comprehensive public health services to residents in a more efficient manner by consolidating the services within one organization. 

The Director of Health and staff of CHD work to promote health and wellness among the residents we serve. 

By enforcing the Connecticut Public Health Code, conducting health education programs, monitoring disease outbreaks and nurturing our environment, CHD is focused on promoting healthy communities.
