About us
The City of Dearborn Department of Public Health launched in April 2022 & is piloting a health-in-all-policies approach, a collaborative approach that integrates and articulates health considerations into policymaking across city government. We look to advance a public health agenda that emphasizes the health and well-being of Dearborn residents across the life course. DPH will work so that each resident has the opportunity to attain their full health potential and that no one is disadvantaged due to social position or other socially determined circumstances. This is not your typical health department. The City of Dearborn aims to be at the cutting edge of municipal Public Health practice, working innovatively to promote health, joy, and opportunities for social engagement for all residents.

Two years ago, we launched Dearborn’s first free Narcan vending machine. To date, we’ve dispensed over 8,000 life-saving units. That’s over 8,000 units of lifesaving potential out in the streets rather than in a warehouse somewhere. As with all our interventions, we’ve paired this critical program with ongoing efforts to reshape the narrative around substance and opioid use. Together, we’re working to reduce stigma and normalize the understanding that addiction is not an individual struggle, but a collective one. If you are living with substance or opioid use disorder, we want you to know that we see you, we’re here for you, and we got your back.
