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. |
