Local health departments (LHDs) play a leading role in eliminating health inequities as they proactively identify and address barriers to optimal health within the community they serve. This study evaluated a Midwestern County LHD's commitment, collaborations, and capacity to advance health equity in their organization. A total of 81 employees completed the online survey (response rate = 51%) and 12 among randomly selected employees completed the qualitative interviews (31.5%). More than 75% of participants reported that all departments had explicit work plans and 50% had a strong capacity to address social determinants of health. Almost 50% of the participants reported strong internal collaboration, but less than 25% indicated that no external partners were involved during the program planning process. Finally, a few participants identified the need for increased diversity in leadership and expressed the importance of quality training and feedback.
