Living a healthy lifestyle by eating right, not smoking, and being active are proven ways to prevent injury and chronic disease.
Public Health works towards improving overall health in the community in a number of ways.
We share and promote health information through public awareness campaigns.
We offer programs and services for individuals like smoking cessation and basic dental care for people without dental insurance.
And, we work with different partners in the community to accomplish goals like improving the built environment, and ensuring the good health of kids in schools through dental screening, breakfast programs, and other activities.
