Health Department Logo

The Paramus Health Department is deeply committed to the health and well-being of our community. Our work centers on providing accessible, high-quality, and culturally competent health services that meet the diverse needs of our residents. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a healthy life, which is why we place a strong emphasis on health equity and social justice.

Understanding that health is shaped by more than just medical care, we actively address the broader social determinants of health, such as access to healthcare, safe housing, education, transportation, and access to nutritious food, that influence overall well-being. Through strong partnerships with local organizations, key stakeholders, and community members, we work collaboratively to create a healthier, more inclusive, and more resilient Paramus for all.
