Partnerships
The Montgomery County Health Department works with various agencies, task forces and community groups to provide these additional resources for services.
 
The Montgomery County Parent and Infant resource guide is a web database sponsored by the Infant Health Advisory Council that contains maternal and child health resources. The purpose is to encourage and foster collaboration and communications among service providers to help minimize redundant services, provide services to all Montgomery County residents, and assist customers in determining what is in the best interest of his/her own family. webapp.montcopa.org/hhsapps/pihdir.htm
Montgomery County Oral Health Care Task Force
The Montgomery County Oral Health Care Task Force was formed in 2004. The task force mission is “To advance the oral health and well-being of Montgomery County residents by eliminating oral health disparities, facilitating the utilization of existing resources and supporting initiatives to enhance and increase oral health care programs.” The task force created a Dental Resource Guide, which was funded by the Montgomery Bucks Dental Society. This guide provides information on low-cost dental services available to county residents. Other activities completed by the task force and future planned activities can be found in the 2004-2007 Activities Report. The task force meets every other month; all persons are welcome to attend. If you are interested in serving on the task force or if you have any issues regarding oral health you would like the task force to address, please send an email to publichealth@montcopa.org or phone 610-278-5117.
