Preventing disease of environmental origin

department of health logoThe Florida Department of Health‘s mission is to protect, promote and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county and community efforts.  

This mission is broad, but of relevance to this post is the department’s Bureau of Environmental Health, which works to prevent disease of environmental origin.  

The department works in partnership with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to track diseases that may be related to environmental exposures.  

What does the DOH help with? 

How can I get involved? 

One way to get involved is to attend a public meeting. DOH keeps a list of upcoming and past public meetings at: http://www.floridahealth.gov/about/sunshine-info/public-meeting-notices/index.html
