Your health department plays a vital role in protecting
your community. The local health department monitors
water quality and is responsible for approving septic
systems and ensuring restaurant food safety. The health
department examines improving healthcare access; its
work extends far beyond pandemic response. It also
maintains vital records and offers programs, including
elder services. The Alabama Health Department
provides over 30 programs to support community well-
being. How much do you know about the services

available to you?
