History of CG Public Health
CG Public Health is proud to call Mason City, Iowa home, serving as a trusted resource for more than 42,000 people across 10 cities and several townships in Cerro Gordo County. When we opened our doors in 1990, we focused primarily on home care services. Since then, we’ve grown, adapted, and expanded into a vibrant department offering more programs and services that support the health and well‑being of our communities.
Families rely on CG Public Health for routine childhood vaccines, adult boosters, and seasonal shots and the community knows us for our strong substance use prevention work from nicotine-free policies to working within the schools to educate. Residents and visitors alike benefit from our robust inspection services ensuring safe food and swimming opportunities. Today, our team of dedicated professionals works hard to ensure everyone is given the opportunity to live a healthy life.
In 2018, we became the second public health organization in Iowa to earn national accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB)—a milestone that reflects our commitment to excellence. We believe in collaboration, innovation, compassion, and integrity. Guided by these values, our mission is to serve our community by promoting and protecting health, safety and well-being for all.
