The Morris Township Health Departments mission is to provide competent, professional and efficient Public Health and environmental health services to residents of the Township. Through the delivery of the state mandated "Public Health Practice Standards of Performance for Local Boards of Health in NJ" and the enforcement of state and local public health laws and policies of our local Board of Health, we will protect and promote the public's health. This will be accomplished through various programs of health education and promotion, public health nursing, environmental health inspections, communicable disease activities, maternal and child health activities, adult health services and by forming community partnerships.
