Madison County Health Department is a public health agency serving residents of Madison County, North Carolina. Established on March 9, 1949, the department is dedicated to preventing disease and promoting health throughout the community. It offers services and information through programs including WIC, dental care, environmental health, and school nursing. WIC resources include appointments, food benefits, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and family resources. The department also provides vital records and shares public health news, publications, and community information.

The department aims to make care accessible: no one is denied services because they cannot pay, and a discounted sliding-fee schedule is available based on family size and income. Residents can contact the department to learn more about fees and services. Its website also points visitors to community resources, including the Madison County Community Health Assessment, a local resource guide, NC 211 for free and confidential information about health and human services, and online mental health screenings and resources.
