The Florida Department of Health works to prevent disease of environmental origin. Environmental Public Health activities focus on prevention, preparedness, and education and are implemented through routine monitoring, education, surveillance, and sampling of facilities and conditions that may contribute to the occurrence or transmission of disease. Environmental Public Health programs are an essential part of Florida’s public health system.

Through public education, routine inspections, investigation of complaints, and enforcement of laws relating to safety and sanitation, your EPHS staff help to make your neighborhood and community a healthier place to live.
