The mission of the Florida Department of Health in Jefferson County (DOH-Jefferson) is to protect, promote, and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts.
DOH-Jefferson is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Jefferson County residents and visitors by preventing and treating disease, promoting healthy lifestyles, and responding effectively to infectious disease outbreaks.
As a small county health department with a staff of approximately 20 full-time employees, DOH-Jefferson focuses on delivering essential health services. These services encompass four core functions: Communicable Disease Control, Environmental Public Health, Community Health, and Preparedness.
The Department’s ultimate goal is to work in partnership with local government and community organizations to improve the quality of life in Jefferson County. By engaging in community assessments, implementing effective health interventions, fostering communication, and adhering to best practices, DOH-Jefferson aims to elevate the health outcomes of the entire community.
