The US government created public health departments to protect our health. These agencies monitor health patterns and stop the spread of dangerous diseases. This is where you can get vaccinations and guidance. Basically, they ensure safe living conditions.
Each US state and territory runs its own public health department. These community services are either free or low cost.
Because preparation saves lives, RPCV Health Crusade assembled this list of public health departments across the country and territories. We want you to have this vital information before an emergency happens.
