Welcome to the Public Health and Environmental Safety section of our operation. Public Health is the science of protecting and improving the health of people in the community. The work we do is achieved by promoting healthy lifestyles for all in our community, researching disease and injury prevention, and detecting, identifying, preventing, and responding to infectious diseases and environmental health concerns.

In Public Health and Environmental Safety, we are concerned with protecting the health and environment of our entire population, preventing problems from happening or recurring through implemented health programs, recommending polices, and administering services.
