Environmental health addresses physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person and encompasses the assessment and control of those environmental factors that can potentially affect your health. Environmental health is focused on preventing disease and creating health-supportive environments.

As Environmental Health Specialists, we protect lives through surveillance, education, enforcement and assessment.  We are commonly thought of as health inspectors but this description does not reflect all of our duties. You might find us inspecting a restaurant, investigating a case of lead poisoning, evaluating a property for a septic permit, inspecting your neighborhood pool, assisting after disasters, conducting plan reviews for establishments we regulate such as hotels and restaurants, reviewing a proposed subdivision, educating a home owner about their septic system, advising an animal bite vicitm about potential rabies exposure, and much more.

We welcome the opportunity to serve you.
