Our Core Functions:
Environmental Health
Environmental Health is responsible for the promotion of environmental health and disease reduction through a system of inspection programs, consultation, planning, educational outreach projects and, as a last resort, enforcement action.
Public Health
Public health promotes and protects the health of people and the communities where they live, learn, work and play. While a doctor treats people who are sick, public health works to prevent people from getting sick or injured in the first place.
Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Preparedness is the process of planning, training, responding, and evaluating to ensure that people and communities are protected when extraordinary events threaten public and environmental health and safety.
