County health departments have jurisdiction over the entire county except in Lake and Tippecanoe counties, where city health jurisdictions are established. Local Boards of Health are subordinate to the State Department of Health; they are charged with enforcing all the laws, regulations, and ordinances of the state as well as their own. Health departments are responsible for birth and death registrations, prevention and suppression of diseases, communicable disease control and environmental health, including general community sanitation, retail food sanitation, and the initiation of health services.
