Environmental Health Services
A safe and healthy environment is one form of preventive medicine that you can not buy at the drug store or get from your doctor's office. Yet it is crucial to the well being of you, your family and the community where you live.
Environmental Health (EH) programs are an essential part of Florida?s public health program. These services are administered by the Florida Department of Health through the Brevard County Health Department and Brevard County Environmental Health Services. These services are aimed at preventing or reducing health risks that may occur in your daily surroundings.
Detecting and correcting environmental dangers that can cause disease or injury is the job of environmental health specialists. They are an important part of a public health team that includes doctors, nurses, and administrative personnel.
You may not be aware of the wide range of services provided by these specialists through Environmental Health Services (EHS). Almost every day you and your family receive benefits directly or indirectly from work performed by Environmental Health Professionals.
Through public education, periodic inspection, investigation of complaints and enforcement of laws relating to safety and sanitation, your EHS staff, help to make your neighborhood and community a healthier place to live.
The work performed by Environmental Health is divided into four (4) sections i.e., Community Environmental Health, Onsite Sewage, Water Programs and Administrative. Each section is responsible for specific duties and program areas. Please click on the links for more information about those sections.
