The department maintains birth and death records, runs community programs, and teaches disease prevention.
Community programs include substance abuse services, WIC supplemental nutrition, and youth focused programs. Information about dental care for children is distributed by DPH in Chinese and Spanish as well as English. To find answers to your health related questions, visit this website:
