Environmental Health
Environmental Health focuses on protecting the public from health risks found in places that we live, work, and gather. Our Environmental Health Specialists work to prevent illness and injury by identifying and addressing environmental health conditions that can impact community health. Routine inspections of all restaurants, hotels/lodging, and public pools are conducted to ensure they meet safety and sanitation standards to protect the health of our communities in the North Shore.
