The Chesterfield Health District is composed of three local health departments - Chesterfield County, Powhatan County and the City of Colonial Heights. As a state agency, each local health department operates in a cooperative relationship with the city or county that it serves. 
 
Public health encompasses many things, such as preventing epidemics and the spread of disease, protecting against environmental hazards, preventing injuries, promoting and encouraging healthy behaviors, and assuring the quality and accessibility of health services.
