We work to enhance our community's total well being, to promote healthy life styles for the community, to protect health and to prevent disease.
Public health is about prevention.
We promote healthy behaviors through education and targeted programming. We protect the health of the community by monitoring food, water, and environmental systems to assure the quality of life and health of the total community. We assure overall health by assessing needs and assets to make recommendations on allocation of resources. Our programs reach out to the community. We created Health Resource Centers in two neighborhoods of Battle Creek, and in Marshall and Albion.
