About Tompkins County Whole Health

Welcome To Tompkins County Whole Health

TOMPKINS COUNTY Health Department and Mental Health Department have integrated to become Tompkins County Whole Health.

IN 2019, Tompkins County Public Health and Mental Health began the process of merging, a decision that was both strategic and meaningful. The integration combines Public Health and Mental Health under shared leadership and administration, as well as a shared mission and shared values. Cross functional teams have been working collaboratively to launch a re-brand, integrate services and processes, and engage staff in the process.

As of January 4, 2023, TCWH has officially launched, with unified services, shared values, and a new name and logo. 

As a resident of Tompkins County, you can continue to expect offerings and programs to improve your wellbeing. We provide a variety of services to support children and youth, adults, households and communities, and businesses. Whole Health supports the needs of the whole person, blending physical, mental and environmental health. We look forward to working with you.

  —  Frank Kruppa, Whole Health Commissioner
