For the past 125 years we have worked diligently not only to protect the public's health but to encourage our citizens to build and maintain healthy lifestyles. Many services provided by public health are unseen. Restaurant inspections, communicable disease investigations, testing well water and monitoring of morbidity and mortality reports are a few examples of vital activities which proceed daily behind the scenes. Other services are not at all obscure.
Health education is an example.
Because good health is our goal, and promoting good practices is our job, we make every effort to engage the community and focus public attention on issues for educational purposes. The desire to maintain good health requires that we all be armed with timely and accurate information. That is the prime reason for this web site. Hopefully, you will enjoy exploring it. It takes the entire community to have a strong public health system.
