The Township of East Brunswick contracts the services of the Middlesex County Health Department thru a Public Health Interlocal Service Agreement to provide public health services and programs to the community.  The Advisory Health Council supports the work of the Middlesex County Health Department, and may also from time to time make recommendations to the mayor and Township Council.
