Child Care Sanitation

Notice: All Environmental Health services are now temporarily located at 133 SE Second Avenue in Hillsboro. As you turn the corner from Main Street and pass Edward Jones, please use the second building entrance located at 133 SE Second Avenue. It's the same entrance as the gym/fitness center. You cannot get to the offices if you enter the building on Main Street or the first entrance on Second.

Child care facility owners come to Washington County Public Health because they see the best value in our inspections. We are seen not as a disciplinary organization, but rather as a partner in helping you improve your business and safeguard children's health. We provide valuable information in an efficient and cost effective manner. Our support staff and inspectors are valued and helpful professionals who execute the scheduling and inspection process flawlessly.
