OVERVIEW:
Our Preventive Health Services are intended to prevent disease,
promote healthy lifestyles and protect the health and safety of county
residents.
- We monitor the community
and identify health problems continually as we update a Community Health
Assessment every year and publish results every 6 years.
- We investigate health
problems and health hazards in the community when we investigate cases
of whooping cough and when we make a home visit to a child with an
elevated blood lead level.
- We continually inform,
educate, and empower our citizens about health issues when we have a
booth at the fair or when we go into the schools and teach children
about hand washing.
- We enforce laws and
regulations that protect health and ensure safety when we offer free
rabies clinics for pets and when we conduct Child Passenger Safety Seat
Checks.
- We link people to needed
personal health services and ensure the provision of health care when it
is otherwise unavailable when we offer immunizations to children, public
flu clinics and home visits to pregnant women and newborn babies.
