Serving Green Brook, Warren, Watchung and Bridgewater
About Us
Welcome to the Middle-Brook Regional Health Commission (MBRHC) website! Here you will find information about the governmental public health resources available in the four towns served by MBRHC: Green Brook, Warren, Watchung and Bridgewater. The Commission is pleased to have been providing residents and business owners with a variety of quality public health programs and services for over 50 years to help improve the health status of the communities we serve.
Our Mission: to improve the health of our community and environment through the use of prevention services, health promotion and protection strategies.
Our Vision: Healthy People and Places – A Healthy Community.
The Commission is made up of four municipalities, each with its own Board of Health. Each Board meets several times a year to discuss issues particularly relevant to its town. In addition, each town appoints two members to serve on the Commission, where broader public health concerns affecting all four municipalities are addressed. The Commission meeting schedule, agenda, minutes, budgets and members can be found here. For a full list of meetings, click here.
In addition to the ongoing public health services such as communicable disease investigation, inspection of retail food establishments and other facilities, the Commission is available 24/7 in the event of a local public health emergency. In such an event, we can be reached via each town’s local Police Department.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office with any questions or concerns. If we cannot assist, we will refer you to the appropriate organization. Our main contact information is at the bottom of each page and staff details can be found here. You may also explore our Community Resource Agencies in Somerset County page for additional support services available.
Public Health promotes and protects the health of all individuals and the communities where they live, work, and play.
To the left, you will see the 10 Essential Public Health Services framework recognized for carrying out the mission of public health. This model represents a cyclic process of assessment, policy development and assurance; which allows for continuous improvement and adaptation to ever evolving community needs.
As a Regional Health Commission which provides governmental public health services at the local level, The Foundational Public Health Services framework illustrates our core responsibilities to ensure adequate community protection, disease prevention, and health promotion.
