Environmental Health
The Environmental Health Program provides services aimed at assuring that the basic ingredients of a vibrant community; land, food and recreational waters are safe and healthy. This is achieved through organized activities undertaken to protect and enhance the public's health through the control of potentially harmful materials, organisms, energies and conditions in the environment.
It is targeted towards preventing disease and creating health-supportive environments. This definition excludes behavior not related to environment, as well as behavior related to the social and cultural environment, and genetics.
