“It is not unusual for us to meet people who haven’t heard of South Heartland District Health Department or who don’t really know what we do. While public health workers do a great job carrying out statutory authorities and the ten essential services of public health, we often work behind the scenes. Everything we do supports progress toward our vision. We Prepare, Prevent, Promote, and Protect and we work with others in our communities to assure we have conditions in which people can be healthy. We are proud of our many partnerships that help make all of our work happen. We are continuing to develop our role as community convener and chief health strategist for the four-county district to create an environment where people can be healthy."
