With a dedicated team of over 500 professionals and an annual budget of approximately $83 million, we are committed to enhancing the well-being of our diverse community, comprising around 420,000 residents. Our mission is clear: to improve the health of our communities by preventing disease, promoting wellness and ensuring access to needed health care, and our vision is healthier communities through leadership, partnership, and science. At our core, we are proactive and multifaceted in our approach.

During emergencies, we step up by staffing medical shelters, ensuring the safety and care of our residents. Additionally, our Animal Services program demonstrates our dedication to the well-being of our four-legged companions.
