The Clark County Public Health Advisory Council is a 20-member volunteer body that makes recommendations to Clark County Councilors. Among the council's top priorities are addressing adverse childhood experiences, community health improvement planning and support for healthy children.

The council protects the community's health by preventing disease, responding to health threats and reducing health disparities. The Clark County Public Health Department promotes healthy communities and environments, health equity, and disease and injury prevention. With community partners, Public Health works to promote healthy choices, ensure the safety of food and water, reduce environmental waste and contamination, and protect people from disease outbreaks through monitoring, early detection and swift response.

The council meets 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of every month, except December. Meetings are typically held via Zoom, however, one meeting per quarter will be in-person at locations across the county.

Interested applicants may apply online at www.cityofvancouver.us/boards and must be available for an interview with Vancouver City Council before recommendation for appointment.
