PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Alameda County Public Health Department has worked for over 80 years to improve the health and safety of its residents and the neighborhoods they live in.

Each of these poses a threat to public health and wellness and calls for short and long-term solutions that lie well outside traditional public health boundaries.
