Introduction
This vacancy is in the New Haven Health Department.
The mission of the New Haven Health Department is to ensure and advocate for the health and well-being of all New Haven residents.
The New Haven Health Department has a long tradition of protecting the health of city residents through disease prevention and health promotion.

Today, we continue to provide the essential public health services and enforce the Public Health Code as outlined in state statutes and the city charter. This also includes responding to complaints of public health nuisances as well as ensuring environmental health and safety and curbing disease outbreaks.
