The Environmental Health Department aims to protect human health and the environment through prevention of disease, injury, and illness by the promotion of scientific, evidence-based practices and education.
Central Valley Health District (CVHD) provides environmental health services across eight counties in southeast central North Dakota: Barnes, Dickey, Foster, LaMoure, Logan, McIntosh, Stutsman, and Wells.
Request Facility Inspection Records
Public inspection records for licensed facilities are available: food service inspections (bars, restaurants, child care) through the North Dakota Department of Health system, and other facilities (aquatics, body art, tanning) through an open record request form.

Inspection and licensing covers tattooing, body piercing, branding, and scarification to reduce the risk of communicable disease and injury.
