The Department of Health is governed by the State Board of
Health. The Board is composed of the Director of the Department
of Health and the Commissioner of Health of Baltimore City and six
members appointed by the Governor for a term of six years. The
Director of the Department also serves as Chairman of the Board
(Code 1947 supp. Art. 43, sec. 4)..

Full-time health service in each county, provided since 1934, is the
result, of gradual development. In 1914 a law was enacted dividing
the State into ten Sanitary Districts, each consisting of two or three
counties and each in charge of a Deputy Health Officer. Increased
functions, making it necessary to decrease the territory covered, re-
sulted in the County Health Department Law of 1922, which opened
the way for full-time health departments in individual counties. A
third law, passed in 1931, increased the number of Sanitary Districts
to twenty-three, one in each county, and authorized the establish-
ment of full-time health service in each county. Every county has
had its own full-time health department since 1934. Each County.
