Functions of the Environmental Health Division

The Environmental Health Division provides a wide variety of services to the community to reduce the risk of contracting disease or experiencing other health effects from pathogens in the environment. The following is a list of the programs we administer with links to detailed information about the programs and to information concerning how the public can protect themselves from environmental threats. This Web site is under construction and will be updated as various programs are completed.

If you have any questions concerning these programs or threats the environment may pose to your health, please contact an Environmental Health Specialist at (574) 235-9721.
