MIDDLE-BROOK REGIONAL HEALTH COMMISSION Serving the towns of Bound Brook, Green Brook, Middlesex, South Bound Brook, Warren and Watchung Phone: 732-356-8090 Fax: 732-356-1249 Dear Residents, Welcome to the Middle-Brook Regional Health Commission's website! The Middle-Brook Regional Health Commission (MBRHC) is pleased to provide you with a variety of public health programs and services to help improve the health status of the communities we serve. The functions and responsibilities of public health agencies are often unclear to the general public. We hope that this website will both help describe public health's essential services, as well as describe the many programs and services we provide. Many of our programs are coordinated in partnership with other public health organizations in the community and links are provided to each of those agencies. Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns. If we cannot assist, we will refer you to the appropriate organization. Our Mission is to protect and improve the health of the public and the environment of the municipalities that form the Commission. This is achieved through the use of preventive services, health promotion and protection strategies and inspection and enforcement activities. The services, strategies an activities shall be conducted in an efficient, effective and conscientious manner. The Commission is made up of six municipalities, each with it’s own Board of Health. Each Board meets several times a year, to discuss issues particularly relevant to its town. In addition, the President and Vice President of each Board serves on the Commission, where broader public health concerns affecting all six municipalities are addressed. The 2010 Boards of Health meeting schedule can be found here, and, beginning in January 2010, meeting minutes. In addition to the more 'routine' public health services, we are also available 24/7 in the event of a local public health emergency. In such an event, we can be reached via your local Police Department at any time. Thank you, and we look forward to serving you! Kevin G.
