That's hilarious! Yes I figure there might be quite a few T________ County Health Departments, and even several Tri-County Health Departments (there are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of "tri-county areas" across the USA).
For fun I Googled a few acronyms from my former job
TDA
DLP
DCA
and came up with all kinds of unrelated stuff. (It helps if one knows that in each case "D" stands for Disney.)
In any case "Highland Dress" has long been a stock phrase, though in the early 20th century the term "Scottish National Dress" was perhaps more common.
HD is, or was, more commonly used in Scotland for Highland Division, in the war the 51st Highland Division. (At 2:40 you can see the well-known HD divisional arm-patch)
