Dear

We are
pleased to welcome you to the Bernards Township Health Department's website. We
hope that this site will provide you with useful information on the latest
public health issues and familiarize you with the many public health services
offered by our department.
Public health is about protecting people's
health and well-being. With a population-based focus on prevention and health
promotion, our work employs a spectrum of interventions aimed at the
environment, human behavior and lifestyle, and clinical services.
The
number one way to prevent the spread of colds and flu this season is by washing
your hands or using hand sanitizer.

on how to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer.
Our mission is to provide competent, professional and efficient public health
and environmental services to the residents of our community. Through the
delivery of state mandated "Public Health Practice Standards of
Performance for Local Boards of Health in New Jersey" and the ordinances
and policies of the Board of Health, we protect and promote the public's health
by the use of health promotion and education, disease prevention, environmental
enforcement and inspection activities.
Please take a moment to browse through the various pages in our website. If you
