About TACCHO

The Texas Association of City & County Health Officials (TACCHO) is the premier member organization serving both Texas local public health officials and the departments which they lead in order to enhance local public health practice in Texas with the ultimate goal of improving the health of Texans and the communities in which they live.

Created in 2014, TACCHO is committed to the principles of public health practice in local communities and to assisting members in reaching their goals. As advocates for the health and well-being of Texans, TACCHO functions as the primary resource of local public health agencies by monitoring and researching public health news, trends, and legislative actions to keep members updated on the current events that effect their everyday operations. TACCHO is a true member led organization, sharing best public health practices, empowering directors and their staff to carry out public health functions and advocating on the behalf of citizens across the state.

The Texas Association of City and County Health Officials is committed to compliance with legal and ethical standards addressing conflicts of interest in the administrative and research activities of the association.
