The Vernon County Health Department is located in Nevada, Missouri. Our mission is to promote health in our community.
On October 23, 1973, the Vernon County Health Department opened as a demonstration unit. On May 24, 1974, the voters of Vernon County passed a $.10 tax levy to support the county health department. The Health Department is governed by a five member board of Trustees, who are elected for four-year terms.
We provide certified copies of birth and death certificates for Vernon County residents. Walk-ins welcome or request by mail.
