All of us at El Dorado County Public Health believe that we can make a difference as we strive to become one of the healthiest and safest communities in Northern California. We are committed to serving you and to working in partnership with you to realize the vision of “Healthy People Living in Healthy Communities Throughout El Dorado County.” As you can see from our list of services we are charged to address a diverse spectrum of County public health needs from ambulance services to animal control to communicable disease.

Many of our direct services place special emphasis on children, seniors and families, however we also are striving to address collaboratively (with our many public health partners) some real public health challenges in our county, such as improving access to health care for those who have little or no medical insurance and preparing for public health threats such as bioterrorism and communicable disease outbreaks.

We hope you will become familiar with what Public Health has to offer through our web site. Even more, we hope you will find this resource helpful in keeping you and your family healthy. Our experienced, dedicated staff is always available to provide you with information regarding your health and safety needs.
