Our mission is to assure that conditions within the
health district allow its
residents to lead healthy lives.
We accomplish this mission through:
• Promoting a healthy community and protecting residents from health
risks;
• Preventing disease, disability, injury, and premature deaths;
• Defining health priorities determined through community health
assessments;
• Monitoring the health status of the community;
• Developing health policy that supports and encourages improved
health status.
We assist residents through public health education and information
to:
• Understand both community and personal health risks;
• Accept individual responsibility for their own health;
• Adopt personal practices that enhance both individual and community
health.
We assure that:
• Health services are available and accessible to all residents;
• Medical services are of the highest quality and necessary;
• Environmental health conditions related to air, water, food,
shelter, solid waste,
sewage, consumer protection, and safety foster a healthy community.
