About Us

Aspetuck Health District is a regional public health agency serving the towns of Westport, Weston, and Easton, working to protect and improve community health through education, prevention, and responsive services.


A Legacy of Public Health Leadership

In 1965, the Towns of Westport and Weston pioneered a new model for community health by forming the first public health district in Connecticut. On January 1, 2022, Easton joined the multi-town agency, and the district was officially renamed the Aspetuck Health District (AHD).

Our Mission

The mission of the Aspetuck Health District, then and now, is to keep the communities of Westport, Weston, and Easton healthy. We are committed to promoting health and well-being, preventing disease, and ensuring a clean and safe environment for all residents.

What We Do, For you

The Aspetuck Health District provides a comprehensive array of professional public health services designed to meet the evolving needs of the communities we serve.

Environmental Health works to prevent and control the spread of disease in the environment and responds to local environmental emergencies. Sanitarians perform health inspections, investigate and resolve nuisance complaints, respond to public health hazards and educate the public about communicable disease prevention.

Community Health provides health promotion and disease prevention through education, screenings, immunizations and surveillance. These efforts help prevent chronic disease and improve the health of the community. The majority of these services are provided at the Health District’s office and an appointment is necessary for most services.

Emergency Preparedness conducts planning activities to prepare for and respond to emergencies. These include threats of pandemic influenza, biological terrorism, and other hazards. Westport Weston Wilton Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) relies on volunteers to support and assist local health officials during public health emergencies.
