Washington State
Department of Health
 Always Working for a
Safer and Healthier Washington

The Department of Health works with its federal, state and local partners to help people in Washington stay healthier and safer. Our programs and services help prevent illness and injury, promote healthy places to live and work, provide education to help people make good health decisions and ensure our state is prepared for emergencies.

Essential programs for improving health.
Helping prevent illness is a cornerstone of public health. We work to improve health through disease and injury prevention, immunization, and newborn screening for prenatal disease programs.

Information that works.
The Washington State Department of Health works with many partners to provide educational and training programs as well as health and safety information to help people make healthy choices.

Working to protect you and your family every day.
By licensing health care professionals, investigating disease outbreaks and preparing for emergencies, we help ensure a safer and healthier Washington.

Public Health Week 2008
April 7-11, 2008

Public Health in Washington State

National Public Health Week provides an opportunity to educate the public, policy-makers and public health professionals about issues important to improving the public’s health.

In years past, we profiled some of the people who work for public health (see the left sidebar for links to profiles). This year, we're focusing on a few of the dozens of programs--on topics from aging to zoonotic diseases--that make up the Department of Health.

The Department of Health is part of a statewide public health system that works for you, your family and your community every day. Learn more about public health at www.doh.wa.gov/Topics/oneday.htm
