The Public Health Nurses work in collaboration with families in a caring, supportive, professional relationship. They provide assessment, teaching, guidance, advocacy and community linkage, thereby empowering families to become independent and informed to make decisions that maximize their health and wellbeing. The goals are to prevent unintended pregnancy, support planned conception, and promote health.

The goal of the laboratory is to prevent the spread of disease and minimize adverse health outcomes for individuals and families by providing services in support of state and County health programs through accurate, timely, and cost effective completion of laboratory studies. These studies provide information necessary for the control, diagnosis, and treatment of communicable and chronic diseases. The presence of an on-site laboratory allows more efficient treatment and tracking of communicable diseases and early intervention of preventable disease processes. The goals are to prevent poor pregnancy outcomes and to promote optimum future functioning of the mother and child by providing prenatal care consisting of clinic visits, health education, nutrition counseling, and case management services.
