Ohio health department to close local office

But ODH will maintain at least some staff at local health department offices.

“ODH has identified an opportunity to reduce operating costs by sharing services and office space with the local health department in the Dayton area,” reads a statement from the state health department. “This decision will not impact health care services provided to Ohioans. We continue to review all options related to staffing, and every effort is being made to assist employees and minimize the impact of this change.”

In addition to Dayton, ODH has district offices in Ohio in Columbus, Reynoldsburg, Akron, Cambridge and Toledo.
