Public Health

As public health professionals, we help build the foundation of our community’s health by delivering a variety of programs, assessments, research, and recommendations designed to give everyone a chance to be as healthy as possible by:

Preventing illnesses before they start.

Promoting health opportunities for all.

Protecting the residents of St. Louis County.

Health starts in our families, neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. As members of this community, we live, work, play, learn, and age alongside you. And we are committed to working with partners from across our county. Together, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to live a long, healthy life, regardless of who they are, how much they make, or what their background is.
