The purpose of the Public Health Education program is to inform, educate, and empower the public about health issues. Our goal is to promote physical and mental wellbeing. The more knowledge our County residents have regarding health can only help us prevent disease, injury, and disabilities.
Only you know the health issues facing your community, can consider implementing a health education program, and can help us provide safer environments for your members of the larger Rensselaer County community.
