The Health Department works to protect and promote the health, the environment and the well-being of all who live, work, learn and visit Wayland.  We offer a wide variety of services for the Town including various reviews and inspections, guidance/education, vaccinations, and communicable disease investigations.  We are committed to ensuring all have access to public health resources with a focus on prevention, wellness and health equity.  The Health Department runs the day-to-day operations of the office, while the Board of Health acts as the policy makers.  Under the guidance of the board, the department is responsible to carry out and enforce public health policies; local, state and federal laws and regulations.
