At the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department (LFCHD), we are committed to ensuring high-quality public health services through continuous improvement, accreditation, and evidence-based planning.

Our Commitment to Excellence
Public Health Accreditation
LFCHD is dedicated to maintaining national Public Health Accreditation to ensure we meet the highest standards in delivering health services to our community. Accreditation strengthens our ability to assess and respond to public health needs effectively.
CHA & CHIP
The Lexington-Fayette County Diabetes Program staff are here to help, free of charge.
We offer a variety of programs to help you learn more about it. Some are in-person, some taught live – online using zoom, and some are online recorded modules.
Together, we are building a healthier, more connected Lexington-Fayette County.
