Healthy Community

Public health improves our quality of life, helps children thrive, reduces human suffering, and saves money. Every day, the public health field is working - often behind the scenes - to prevent hazards and keep people healthy.

At Jackson County Public Health, we are committed to protecting and improving the health of all people in our communities. This is done by promoting healthy lifestyles, preventing and responding to infectious diseases, implementing programs for disease and injury prevention, addressing environmental health hazards, being prepared for emergency situations, and much more.

Our team is committed to our mission: To Promote a Healthy, Strong Community for Jackson County through Prevention, Education, Preparedness, and Partnership.
