Mesa County Public Health

Birth and death certificates, COVID-19 testing, and vaccination appointments form the core of Mesa County Public Health’s daily operations in Grand Junction. Located at 510 29 1/2 Road, this government office serves as a central hub for residents seeking essential health services. The clinic manages restaurant inspections and monitors air quality conditions to keep the local environment safe. Food recall information is regularly updated for public awareness, while burn permits assist homeowners and businesses with compliance.

Beyond administrative tasks, the department supports community wellness through WIC, which helps pay for groceries, and vaping and tobacco prevention programs. Birth control refills are available for those needing routine care. A notable addition to their offerings is the Naloxone Kiosk, launched in December 2024, which provides access to life-saving medication for overdose prevention. The organization publishes an annual impact report detailing the program's effectiveness.

The Community Services Building, where Public Health is housed, hosts regular Board of Public Health meetings. These gatherings occur on Tuesday afternoons and evenings throughout the year, allowing public input on health policies. The office remains open Monday through Friday, with extended hours until 5:00 p.m. for most of the week and an earlier closing at noon on Fridays.
