The Walpole Health Department operates out of Walpole Town Hall and has five full-time staff. Walpole also has a Board of Health, made up of elected individuals who also work on maintaining the health and well-being of the community. 

The mission of the Walpole Health Department and its Board of Health is to promote good public health, prevent disease, and protect the environment. 

​

This is carried out through routine inspections, investigating complaints, plan review, overseeing many programs and regulations, educating our residents and businesses, and serving the public.
