Adams County launches health department website
STAFF REPORT
Adams County launched a new health department website Dec. 23 with search features about environmental health, viral records, community services, and health care services.
e new website debuts in response to the county’s separation from TriCounty Health Department.
“ e new ACHD website will help visitors, including mobile users in rural areas with limited internet access, to nd the information they need. Also, to learn about our work to support public health, safety, and opportunity in Adams County,” said Executive Director Dr. Kelly Weidenbach.
According to the o cials, the Adams County Board of Commission ended its partnership with Tri-County Health Department in October 2021. Its goal is to create a new health department to provide 520,000 residents and businesses in Adams County with health needs. e new health department will o cially open its doors on Jan. 3.
e Adams County Health Department’s website also provides Adams County residents with updates on the development of initiatives. According to o cials, the website will roll out in
phases in the coming weeks and is designed to be user-friendly, delivering the information the health department o ers.
“We want everyone, not just health professionals, but also parents, students, businesses, and our partners to get the information they need. We are hoping this website will eventually serve as a ‘dashboard’ for all the services we deliver in Adams,” said Weidenbach.
“ e depth and breadth of the content and services ACHD will o er to the diverse Adams County communities are immense. Because of this, we needed a platform that o ers a one-stop shop of information for our various populations.”
Vital records
In addition, the Adams County Health Department launched its rst vital records o ce providing birth and death certi cates for any Colorado County at the Adams County Service Center, 7190 Colorado Blvd, Suite 170 in Commerce City.
e birth and death certi cates are printed on forgery-resistant safety paper with watermarks, raised engraving with background security pattern
and certi cate identi cation number, according to o cials.
e cost is $20 for the rst copy and $13 for additional copies of the same certi cate ordered at once. Shipping two-day express is available, and for an additional $25, they o er email and mail orders. Business hours will be from Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Residents can request in-person appointments by emailing vitalrecords@ adcogov.org, online through vital check.com, or request by mail at 7190 Colorado Blvd, Suite 170.
Updates from the Adams County Health Department and other information can be found on adamscounty-

Time for New Year’s financial resolutions
It’s that time of year when many of us promise ourselves we’ll go to the gym more or learn a new language. But when making New Year’s resolutions, why not also consider some financial ones?
Here are a few suggestions:
First, don’t let inflation derail your investment strategy. Last year, some people may have stopped contributing to their 401(k)s as the cost of living rose. But if you can cut back in some areas, you may still be able to invest in your retirement plans.
Also, try to control your debts. With rising interest rates and inflation, your credit card debt could increase. If you can pay your bill fully each month, you can avoid getting bogged down in debts and you’ll have more money to invest.
And if you haven’t built an emergency fund, try to do so. It’s a good idea to keep three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a liquid, low-risk account.
Finally, review your investment portfolio to help ensure it’s still appropriate for your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon.
These resolutions can be useful — so try to put them to work in 2023.
