What does Public Health do for you?

The foundation of a healthy community is having healthy people and a healthy environment. That's why we work with community partners - 365 days a year - to build healthy communities.

Public Health is building healthy communities by making sure that:

• Homebound residents have the home care services they need
• Restaurants are serving safe food
• Public swimming pools and hot tubs are safe
• Drinking water is safe
• Children and adults receive vaccines that protect against illness and disease
• All county residents age 55 and older have access to Senior Health Clinics

Public Health is also working to prevent tobacco use among our youth.

Whether you're at home, work or at play, it's important for you to know the status of your health now. That way, you can make improvements for a healthy future.

Public health - we're working with you to build healthy communities - one day at a time.
