Programs
Medical Reserve Corps
The Montgomery County Medical Reserve Corps’ (MRC) mission is to establish a network of local volunteer medical and non-medical residents who can contribute their skills and expertise throughout the county to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies, as well, as assist with other Health Department initiatives to improve the health of the community.
 
Groundwater Monitoring
Water quantity and quality is important to the health and welfare of all county residents. As such, the Montgomery County Health Department (MCHD) Division of Water Quality Management (WQM) in collaboration with the United States Geological Service (USGS) has developed a groundwater monitoring program for the county.
 
West Nile Virus
The Montgomery County Health Department is committed to protecting the residents of Montgomery County from the spread of West Nile Virus (WNV).
Mosquito Surveillance
Surveillance of both immature and adult mosquitoes is an essential part of the Montgomery County Health Department's Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) approach.
 
Mosquito Control
Our emphasis is on the control of immature mosquitoes using biological forms of larvicide. However, since mosquitoes are relentless at finding very small, hidden areas to breed, adult control is also necessary.
