Section 1: IDPH in our Communities Page 25
Public Health is for everybody, every day and everywhere.
Sometimes, Public Health efforts go unnoticed and/or are taken for granted.
Let's take a brief look at Public Health in our Communities:
|
Dr. Caitlin Pedati, State Public Health Medical Director, updates Iowans on current state of the coronavirus in Iowa. (March 10, 2020) Do you enjoy feeling safe in public and being updated on the current state of transmission? |
In 2008, the Iowa Legislature passed a bill to ban smoking in public places to protect Iowans from the effects of second-hand smoke. Do you enjoy not smelling smoke? |
IDPH continuously monitors and tracks air quality, water quality, drinking water quality, Do you enjoy breathing clean air, swimming in clean lakes, or drinking clean water? |
IDPH inspects and monitors content within food as well as inspects and licenses food distribution establishments to ensure safe practices and operations. Do you enjoy eating clean foods and not worrying about the contents being harmful? |
IDPH has greatly increased societal immunization rates. Do you enjoy not worrying about contracting a deadly disease that our recent ancestors may have endured? |
IDPH inspects and licenses hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulance services. Do you enjoy going to health care facilities and expecting their practices and environments will improve your condition? |
