How is a district health department created?

A district health department may be created upon agreement of the county commissioners and the boards of health of two or more counties. A county may join an existing district health department upon a similar agreement entered by each affected county.[1] A district health department is by definition a multi-county agency. It is governed by a single board of health and administered by a single health director.
