Board Of Health
In New York State, county Boards of Health are empowered by the NYS Public Health Law to formulate, promulgate, and adopt public rules, regulations, orders and directions for the security of life and health in the county health districts.
The Niagara County Board of Health was established in 1965 and is the policy making board for the Niagara County Department of Health. This Board is empowered to enforce provisions of both the New York State and Niagara County Sanitary Codes. The Board of Health also appoints the Public Health Director with the approval of the New York State Department of Health.
The Board of Health consists of ten (10) members as prescribed by New York State Public Health Law. Three members are physicians from Niagara County; three members are mayoral recommendation appointments - one from Niagara Falls, one from North Tonawanda and one from Lockport; three members are at-large appointments; and one is a member of the Niagara County Legislature. These appointments are all made by the Chairman of the Niagara County Legislature. In Niagara County, Board of Health members serve for a term of six (6) years, except the Legislature’s representative.
