The Cleveland Department of Public Health (CDPH) is a City of Cleveland department serving residents through the city’s public health system. Led by Director Dr. David Margolius, the department provides information and access to public health programs, services, licenses, and permits. Its online department page also directs visitors to birth and death certificates and offers a channel for submitting complaints, helping people find relevant municipal resources in one place.

CDPH is part of the broader City of Cleveland government, whose website connects residents with information about city services, departments, public records, safety, housing, transportation, and community programs. The department’s page includes sections for learning about the organization and exploring its programs and services, as well as links to practical administrative resources. Residents can use these options to locate public health information, review applicable licensing or permitting resources, and identify where to raise a concern. The page presents CDPH as a public-facing municipal service rather than a private provider, with its work and resources situated within the City of Cleveland’s wider government operations.
