Why Are Public Health Services Important to the Community?

All of the services provided by our agency have been created in response to a community need to prevent, promote, and protect the health of the community. Healthy people build strong communities. Health problems can interrupt lives. By protecting health, public health in Kansas helps people succeed in school or on the job, raise healthier families, contribute to a more vibrant Kansas economy, and participate fully in their communities.

Public health in Kansas may have already saved your life. Every day, in hundreds of ways benefiting thousands of lives, Kansas public health professionals are protecting and promoting health. Yet their work often happens behind the scenes. You may not see public health professionals as they protect food and water supplies, contain disease outbreaks, teach families healthy lifestyles, and ensure that daycare facilities and schools are safe and healthy. Because public health supports our lives in these quiet ways, people and communities have opportunities to be more productive.

Why is Public Health important? Because healthy people, day by day, build and preserve strong communities in Kansas. In addition to basic services to protect health, the agency also utilizes HIPAA measures to protect client personal and medical information.
