Public Health
The Division of Public Health (DPH) is responsible for disease control and prevention, the reduction of avoidable injury-related deaths and disabilities, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. The three basic functions of public health include assessing the health status of the population; assuring that people have the resources and skills necessary to remain healthy; and establishing and implementing sound public health policy.
