Public Comment Notices

The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) offers hearings and meetings for the public to provide comments and feedback on topics of interest. People can participate in person, or submit a written comment without having to attend a hearing or meeting, by using the Public Hearing Participation Form. Comments will be weighted equally whether a person attends in person or submits a written comment.
